Our Background
Founded in 1999 in Kenya, TI-Kenya is a not-for-profit organisation with the aim of developing a transparent and corruption-free society through good governance and social justice initiatives. TI-Kenya is one of the autonomous chapters of the global Transparency International movement that is bound by a common vision of a corruption-free world. The global movement provides a platform for sharing knowledge and experience, as well as developing strategies to respond to regionally distinct patterns of corruption.
TI-Kenya works towards a transparent and corruption-free society. The organization has over 20 years’ experience in governance work at the national and county levels. TI-Kenya pursues advocacy, partnerships development, strategic litigation, research, capacity building, and civic engagement as its core approaches. TI-Kenya contributes to development of effective legal, policy, and legislative frameworks as well as the promotion of national values that support transparency and accountability.
TI-Kenya has its main office in Nairobi and regional presence in the Coast, Rift Valley, the larger Western Kenya and Eastern Kenya through its four Advocacy and Legal Advice Centres (ALACs) in Mombasa, Eldoret, Kisumu and Nairobi.
