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.

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.
