Building a transparent society

The Transparency Somalia Initiative (TSI) is an independent organization committed to promoting accountability, transparency, and good governance across the nation. Our mission is to build a society rooted in integrity and public trust by addressing corruption and strengthening institutional systems.

By serving as a vital link between public institutions and the Somali people, we ensure that national resources are managed with honesty. Leveraging technology, research, and policy advocacy, we empower both government and civil society to uphold ethical governance. We are dedicated to fostering open data and sustainable reforms that restore public trust and pave the way for lasting development.

We believe that a corruption-free future is possible when fairness and integrity prevail.
