Evidence only matters if someone uses it.
These tools are for the people who can turn budget evidence into pressure, at the moments when it can still change a decision.
Built for five groups of people
Farmer groups and cooperatives
Plain-language scorecards, and a role in checking projects in your own communities.
Women farmers' networks
Evidence on whether extension and input programmes are funded. Women farmers depend most on this public support.
Journalists
Every figure arrives with its source document, ready to cite and check.
State lawmakers
Evidence packs for agriculture and appropriation committees, delivered before budget defence.
Development partners
Counterpart-funding and delivery evidence before you co-finance a state programme.

A typical Nigerian state budget year. Exact dates vary by state; ABX will publish each pilot state's real calendar. The current month is outlined. Tap any month.
Build an information request in one minute
Choose your state, who you are and what you want to know. The letter writes itself. Copy it into an email or print it and deliver it by hand.
Four tests. Pass all four or it does not count.
Spending is not delivery. Trained members of farmer organisations visit a random sample of each state's capital projects. Try the standard on these examples. They are illustrations, not findings.
