"Through the Support of ICIR and the MacArthur Foundation The Open Contract Reporting Project (OCRP) has significantly enhanced my skills and perspective as an investigative journalist. With its key emphasis on transparency and accountability in public procurement processes, I have gained invaluable knowledge on identifying and analysing irregularities in government contracts. OCRP has equipped me with advanced tools and techniques for data gathering, verification, and storytelling, enabling me to expose corruption and inefficiencies that hinder development. Its collaborative environment and mentorship have broadened my network within the investigative journalism community, fostering a culture of ethical reporting and impactful storytelling". - Adeyemi Adekunle @Adeyemidekunle 2023 & 2024 OCRP FELLOW #OCRPAt7 #ICIROCRP2024 #TransparencyMatters #AccountableGovernance
