With this award, WFM builds on its partnerships with On Nigeria election and accountability grantees and other civil society groups to focus more on accountability for women by engaging the state, society, and the family. WFM has a radio program on corruption and accountability with a gender lens, and its newly established academy trains female investigative journalists to investigate and report corruption from women's perspectives.
