Liberia’s Anti-Corruption Watchdog Asked Liberians to Report Corruption By Putting Allegations in Boxes – It Didn’t Work

Liberia is testing new ways for citizens to report corruption. One idea was simple: drop a
complaint in a locked box and walk away. But it didn’t work. The results show Liberians are
too afraid to report corruption.
Corruption watchdogs hope a new app will solve the problem. But, as with so many other
things in Liberia, it needs funding. In this collaboration with New Narratives’ Joyclyn Wea
reports.

This story was a collaboration with New Narratives as part of the “Investigating Liberia” project. Funding was provided by a private donor and the Swedish Embassy in Liberia. The funders had no say in the content.
