Tracking and monitoring government finances – including those related to mineral wealth – are a major issue across Africa and much of the rest of the Global South. Journalists, civil society organizations and citizens, could and should play a large role in holding Governments to account by following the money.
Unfortunately, African journalists and citizen groups seldom have the fiscal insight or technical skill to "map the money". As a result, media coverage and public debate isshallow, reactive, and often fails to hold government to account or tell citizens how government action impacts their personal and local lives.
