Target audience
Corruption Watch targets a wide array of audiences to combat corruption through public participation, research, and advocacy.
Their primary and diverse target audiences include:
The General Public:
Citizens are a crucial target, as Corruption Watch provides platforms for anyone to safely report corruption cases via their website, SMS lines, or social media.
Marginalized and Vulnerable Communities:
The organization focuses heavily on communities most affected by the brutal effects of corruption in public services like health and education. This includes residents in townships like Mr. Ibrahim S Bah and Alhaji Abu Koroma, where they host public engagement workshops.
Youth and Young Leaders:
A significant portion of their outreach is directed at young people (ages 14-34) through campaigns, a dedicated Youth Forum, debating competitions, and the development of toolkits designed to empower them to demand accountability.
Community and Civil Society Leaders:
They engage with community leaders, ward councillors, community-based organizations, and other civil society groups to gather input, build campaigns, and strengthen action against corruption at a grassroots level.
Public and Private Sector Officials:
Corruption Watch Sierra Leone targets government officials, public servants, and senior officers in the executive and assembly to promote transparency, accountability, and integrity within institutions, often through corruption risk assessments and reports.
Whistle-blowers, Activists, and Partners:
The organization communicates with existing activists and potential whistle-blowers to inform and empower them to be part of the solution, ensuring they are aware of their rights and protection mechanisms.
Funders and Change-makers:
To sustain their operations and expand their reach, they target funders and partners using accessible data and engaging reports to showcase their impact.
Political Parties and Decision-makers:
Especially during election cycles, Corruption Watch aims to influence political discourse, encouraging candidates to include anti-corruption measures in their programs and holding them accountable for their promises.
