Communication

The Advocacy and Communications Programme raises the public profile of corruption as a development, economic, political and social issue in Kenya and disseminates findings of TI-Kenya’s research programme in an innovative way which cultivates demand driven advocacy.

The key tools of the Advocacy and Communications Programme are:

Website
The website (http://www.tikenya.org) provides summaries of important new reports and updates on the outcomes of decision-making meetings, upcoming events and documents on corruption-related and related governance matters. TI-K has revamped its site to be more interactive and informative on governance related issues.

Social media
TI-Kenya has established its presence in the social media through the open group ‘Friends of TI-Kenya’ & TI- Kenya facebook page on Facebook and @TIKenya on Twitter.

Adili News Service
Adili (Kiswahili for integrity) is a monthly news service carrying interviews, analytical pieces and feature articles. It seeks to inform people on ongoing corruption and related governance issues in Kenya and beyond. Disseminated electronically and via postal mail, Adili is also posted on the TI-Kenya website.

Media engagement
From April 2001 until September 2007, TI-Kenya sponsored a pioneering 60-minute radio talk and call-in show called “Pasha nikupashe ”which engages policy makers and the public in lively debates on corruption and governance issues. TI-Kenya now targets other forms of media as the mobile cinema, national and community radios, national television and documentaries to engage national/regional audiences on governance issues.  

Information  Centre
The resource Centre provides a unique collection of corruption-related information and documents for policy-makers and practitioners in related fields. Users have a direct “one-click” access to these documents. Stocked with key publications in the area of corruption and governance, the resource centre provides up-to-date information to academics, general researchers, students, media and the public. The resource centre is open to the public and offers users internet search facilities. It is linked to TI‘s global Corruption Online Research Information System (CORIS).

Civic /public education
TI Kenya also engages with the populace through forums, Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials and publications
