The Somali Transparency & Accountability Conference (STAC) is the flagship annual convening organized by Transparency Solutions Initiative (TSI). It is the premier forum dedicated to confronting corruption and strengthening governance across Somalia.

Uniting Key Stakeholders for Action

STAC serves as a critical, high-level platform that uniquely unites essential actors from various sectors:
Government Leaders: Policy-makers and public officials committed to institutional reform.
Civil Society Organizations (CSOs): Local advocates, experts, and watchdogs providing grassroots perspective.
International Partners: Donor countries, multilateral organizations, and technical experts offering support and best practices.
This strategic convergence fosters genuine multi-sectoral dialogue necessary for effective change.

Fostering Dialogue and Driving Reform

The annual STAC agenda is designed for depth and actionable outcomes, moving beyond mere discussion to concrete strategy. The conference structure includes:

– High-Level Panel Discussions: Featuring leaders debating critical challenges and opportunities in the anti-corruption landscape.

– Interactive Workshops: Skills-building sessions focused on technical areas like financial oversight, procurement integrity, and digital transparency.

– Targeted Strategy Sessions: Focused on developing specific, measurable goals for policy implementation and legislative reform.

Through these sessions, STAC actively fosters policy dialogue, advances critical reforms, and collaboratively develops strategies to address the most pressing governance deficits.

Our Commitment: Actionable Outcomes

Each year, STAC is designed not only to raise awareness but to compel commitment. The conference drives actionable commitments from all participants to promote:

– Ethical Leadership: Upholding integrity standards at the highest levels of governance.

– Financial Integrity: Implementing robust public financial management (PFM) systems and accountability mechanisms.

– Sustainable Anti-Corruption Measures: Establishing and empowering independent oversight institutions nationwide.

Ultimately, the core mission of STAC is to rebuild public trust in national institutions by showcasing collective commitment to transparency and measurable progress toward a more accountable Somalia.
