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.
CPI 2025_Somalia
In the 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index, Somalia and South Sudan are tied at the bottom of the global rankings, each recording a stagnant score of 9. This dual ranking marks a grim milestone for the region, signaling that neither nation has yet found the institutional momentum required to distance itself from the index’s lowest tier. The result reflects a state of total stagnation for Somalia, whose score has remained unchanged since 2024 despite the introduction of new anti-corruption rhetoric and policy frameworks.

STAC Conference
The Somalia Transparency and Accountability Conference (STAC) is a groundbreaking event tackling corruption to build a more transparent society. STAC unites government officials, international bodies, civil society, academics, and citizens to foster dialogue, share best practices, and evaluate innovative anti-corruption frameworks. Ultimately, the conference aims to promote accountability, strengthen good governance, and drive sustainable development across Somalia.
Transparency Certification Program
Our Transparency Certification Program mobilizes corporations and institutions dedicated to the public interest. This voluntary initiative encourages Somali businesses to adopt anti-corruption standards, recognizing that corruption distorts resource allocation, raises operational costs, stifles development, and undermines service delivery. We empower the private sector to partner with government and civil society in building a corruption-free Somalia.
Corruption undermines sustainable development and weakens institutions. Focusing on SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), we fight corruption to protect vital resources for healthcare and education, support vulnerable populations, and advance institutional transparency across the nation.

To drive systemic impact, TSI actively collaborates with a diverse network of strategic stakeholders.

Report Corruption
For many people in Somalia, corruption is a harsh daily reality that deeply disrupts their lives. Yet, it is an issue that is too often met with silence.
This widespread dishonesty, combined with our collective hesitation to speak out, can make corruption feel like an inescapable part of our culture. But we don’t have to accept this. Together, we hold the power to bring it to an end, and we are here to finally give this struggle a voice.
By standing united, we can ignite the spark of real change. It won’t happen overnight, but it will lay the foundation for a lasting movement.
