In this episode we're joined by Edwin Muhumuza, Head of Africa at Open Contracting Partnership, as we delve into critical issues related to open contracting, transparency, and development in Africa. He emphasises the importance of open contracting and legislation around state information disclosure to promote best practices, establish independent governing bodies, and regulate both private and public sectors. We also discuss the challenges in implementing ethical guidelines and legislation comprehensively.

The conversation then shifts to the power of civil engagement and the role of civilians in holding governments accountable, including the African diaspora.

The discussion further addresses Africa's trade issues, exploring the role of the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCTA) in potentially addressing these challenges and boosting regional economic integration.

Finally, the episode delves into the issue of corruption and capital flows in Africa. Emphasising the need for transparency measures to combat corruption effectively and promote reinvestment in the African economy.
