LOG is a project of the AfricTivistes Strategic Programme. It aims to support, equip, train and accompany local administrations in integrating digital technology for a budget transparency policy, an open governance and inclusive administration policy, access to information, and co-creation with citizen dynamics.

The main objective of the LOG programme is to create model communities for open local governance in four (4) countries in West Africa. It also aims to promote innovation, co-construction and citizen participation. Finally, it aims to promote the transparency and accountability of these local authorities through the opening of public data.

The first phase of the project was tested in four (4) West African countries: Guinea-Bissau, Niger, Republic of Guinea, Senegal and specifically in seven (7) Local Authorities (Labé, Kouroussa, Fass-Gueule Tapée-Colobane, Rufisque, Dan Kassari, Matankari and Bissau) and seven (7) AfricTivistes Volunteers for Open Local Governance (VAGOA) from Guinea, Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Benin and Chad.

During the six (6) months of assisted journeys for open local governance, these VAGOAs tried to put in place mechanisms to help and support transparency in local governance, to create a framework to encourage citizen participation, to work on consolidating mechanisms and models of collaboration between the administration and Civil Society, to strengthen the tools and encourage accountability policies and to put in place a mechanism for scientific mobility and experience sharing.
