Open Institute are a non-profit organisation based in Nairobi, Kenya that collaborates with Governments, Civil Society Organisations, Citizen Groups and Private Sector companies to find innovative ways to achieve Sustainable Development. Our mandate is to work with governments (at national, subna… read moretional and hyperlocal levels) as well as citizens, CSOs and other stakeholders to promote Responsive Governments (that have the necessary capacity to listen and engage fruitfully with citizens) and Active Citizenship by citizens who are informed and fact-driven.  Through our work we want to see open and proactive governments that ensure all the relevant information concerning development is disclosed to the public to give value to citizen voices – so that citizens have influence in their decision making. The Open Institute undertakes ambitious projects and programs that promote the use of data – both from the supply and the demand side at the grassroots and sub-national level.
