Mobilising Data for Anti-Corruption (MoDAC) is a DFID-funded programme to be implemented in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Tanzania. It aims to improve the quality and use of corruption data, over a four year period, to increase the number of high-level sanctions, penalties and prosecutions in corruption cases. The programme will engage, and form partnerships between, users of anti-corruption data including law enforcement, civil society, the media and private sector. These partnerships would “follow the data” to provide evidence on potential corruption cases, and make data available in user-friendly formats so it can be more widely used to expose and prevent corruption. Main activities of the programme will include grant management, technical assistance, capacity building, as well as collecting and refining data for dissemination and use.
