🧭 ABOUT AIPI

AIPI Brand Architecture - Integrity Policy Research NPC, AIPI, and AWT

The Problem

  • Oversight institutions produce hundreds of reports annually, yet service delivery failures persist.
  • Many recommendations are ignored or duplicated, wasting public resources.
  • Citizens experience β€œreport fatigue” but see little accountability or change on the ground.
  • Employees in oversight bodies often face victimisation without secure reporting mechanisms.

Our Work

  • Track & Analyse the implementation of recommendations from oversight institutions.
  • Identify Duplications & Inefficiencies across institutions, exposing silo approaches.
  • Provide Evidence-Based Policy Guidance to Parliament, SOEs, and government departments.
  • Engage Citizens by translating oversight findings into accessible insights for advocacy.
  • Support Ethical Leadership by addressing compliance gaps, transparency failures, and systemic weaknesses.

Independence

Free from political or commercial influence guided by evidence and constitutional values.

Rigor

Highest standards of research and analysis for credible, actionable insights.

Accessibility

Making research clear and actionable for policymakers, media, and citizens.

Why We’re Different

  • Advancing citizen-centred accountability through research, monitoring, and the identification of non-compliance with the values and principles of Section 195 of the Constitution.
  • Citizen-centered approach: empowering communities to hold government accountable.
  • Focused on impact, not compliance by ensuring oversight translates into service delivery.
  • Specialised in Chapter 9 & 10 Institutions, oversight, and public sector accountability.
  • Secure channels for public sector employee voice and whistleblowing.
  • Collaborative, non-partisan partnerships with universities, civil society, and media.
