Monrovia, Liberia—The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) met with Harold Aidoo, Executive Director of Integrity Watch-Liberia (IW-L), to discuss ongoing collaboration with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in the fight against corruption.

The discussions focused on enhancing and promoting the citizen corruption reporting application, TALKAY! This app empowers Liberians to anonymously report acts of corruption from anywhere using their smartphones.

The LACC previously provided collective feedback and recommendations for updating TALKAY to improve user experience, including the introduction of a simple seven-step questionnaire to assist the LACC in reviewing and investigating reports.

The application now features a voice recording option, allowing users to report incidents directly through the app without writing. A text option is also available for citizens without smartphones.

Both parties are looking forward to relaunching the updated application and presenting it to citizens, donor organizations, and the Government of Liberia (GoL).
The LACC acknowledges and values the role of CSOs in ensuring oversight and accountability in the fight against corruption. 

Both the LACC and IW-L reaffirmed the importance of continued collaboration between CSOs and the GoL to strengthen efforts toward accountability and transparency.
