Average achievement: each result as a share of its target, capped at 100%. On track from 90% of the target, at risk from 60%. For the UNCAC assessment, the ring shows the share of the report’s recommendations implemented.
How each dollar becomes results – and results become lasting change.
US$829K from 9 donors since 2017, and four citizen monitoring apps.
Integrity Clubs, training, citizen monitoring with EduCheck, research, and advocacy with government and parliament.
204 Integrity Clubs · 3,060 young monitors · 462 teachers and principals trained · around 100 recommendations to the government.
33% of reported problems fixed · Integrity Clubs adopted by the South Kivu 1 education directorate · 2 bills before the National Assembly · CERC proposals in the national anti-corruption strategy.
Integrity education is our core approach – but our impact goes well beyond the classroom: research that shapes policy, young researchers and leaders, laws proposed with parliamentarians, citizens’ alerts in the courts, and a civil society voice at the United Nations.
In schools and universities, in courts and parliament, in Kinshasa, South Kivu and at the United Nations: a few of the people and moments behind our results.

What our partners can count on, project after project.
Evidence first. Every programme starts with research with the people concerned – 534 students, teachers and parents consulted before Education Out Loud began, KAP surveys, the independent UNCAC review.
Working with those in power. A memorandum of understanding with the Provincial Education Directorate of South Kivu 1, two bills with members of parliament, proposals taken into the national anti-corruption strategy, and the support of the prosecutors of Kalamu, Ndjili and Matete for the social alert system.
Young people lead. Students monitor their schools, young researchers run the Youth Excel network, university clubs diagnose corruption and propose solutions.
No one left behind. 396 schoolgirls and 44 students at risk of exclusion trained as monitors; organisations led by LGBTQI people and people living with disabilities in the ICON network; university clubs with as many women as men.
From Uvira to the United Nations. From 20 Integrity Clubs in Uvira in 2018 to South Kivu and Kinshasa, the courts and universities of the capital, and special consultative status with ECOSOC.
Accountable for every dollar. Project accounts audited, annual reports and financial statements published, and every dollar received since 2017 shown on our financial accountability page.
