Anti-Corruption Work Around the World

Creating social change at the World Social Forum

By Felgona Atieno

The seventh World Social Forum (WSF) addressed ways to create lasting social change on issues such as poverty alleviation, transparency and accountability among others, under the theme “Another World is Possible”.

The WSF, hosted in Nairobi Kenya from the 20-25 January, gathered more than 100,000 delegates from around the world.

Transparency International (TI) hosted a stall to showcase TI’s work on anti-corruption, and delegates attended workshops that provided an opportunity to reinforce relationships, exchange views and design a new agenda for the future.

Transparency International was represented by Ivy Ndiewo, Jane Wanjiku, Joy Okech and Dominic Mutuku from the Kenyan chapter and Ms Lavina Bandulah from Sierra Leone.
