Our Background
TI-Kenya is a national civil society organisation that works towards a transparent and corruption-free society.
Registered in Kenya in 1999 with a mission to combat corruption, we are dedicated to promoting integrity, transparency and accountability in the public and private spheres through good governance and social justice initiatives.
With over 25 years’ experience in governance interventions at the national and county levels, we work collaboratively with partners, institutions and citizens to prevent, expose and challenge corruption, and to strengthen systems that uphold good governance and public integrity. We pursue advocacy, partnerships development, strategic litigation, research, capacity building, and civic engagement as our core approaches.
As an independent chapter within the global Transparency International movement, we operate within our own governance structures and resources, strategies, and programmes tailored to Kenya’s unique governance landscape. Aligned with the shared vision of a corruption-free world, the global movement serves as a collaborative platform for exchanging knowledge and experiences, and for jointly developing strategies that address the diverse and region-specific forms of corruption worldwide.
We have our main office in Nairobi and regional presence in the Coast, Rift Valley, the larger Western Kenya and Eastern Kenya through four Advocacy and Legal Advice Centres (ALACs) in Mombasa, Eldoret, Kisumu and Nairobi.
