How do we ensure that civil society is able to hold government to account, particularly with the impact of COVID-19 on their capacity?

I am leading a joint WB-IMF study on effective access to national laws in Africa by citizens, the private sector, and even officials and judges. When access to national laws is impeded a critical foundation of governance (all sectors & all branches of govt) is significantly undermined. Our preliminary research indicates that effective access to national laws only exists in a very small handful of all African countries. This is a governance infrastructure issue that is quite invisible to many working to fight corruption & improve quality of governance. Addressing corruption depends on provisions in a myriad of many different laws, and when free access to national laws (complete collection in official versions, reliably updated & easily searchable) , so when laws are not effectively accessible to all, the fight against corruption is significantly impeded. Also, in most African countries court decisions are similarly not effectively accessible. These issues should be addressed under the driver of "Transparency" and although it has been raised in many discussions, is receives little attention.

Ghada Waly has the floor: Even before the pandemic, there was momentum for anti-corruption efforts. Governments, IGOs, and civil society are discussing approaches for anti-corruption. Stakeholders have recognized that corruption is an enormous loss of resources.
