Ombudsman’s Office collaborates in European technical assistance programme for Kenya’s Administrative Justice Commission

On February 24 and 25, the Ombudsman’s Office received a delegation from the Kenyan Administrative Justice Commission as part of the European Technical Assistance and Information Exchange (TAIEX) programme on the right to information and administrative justice.

The purpose of the working visit was to strengthen the capacities and competences of the Kenya Administrative Justice Commission’s research department in the areas of administrative justice and access to information, essential pillars for an effective and accountable public administration.

Promoted by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for International Partnerships, this programme aims to support public administrations in partner countries according to their needs, including by sharing best European practices.

This initiative was organised in collaboration with the European Commission, the European Union Delegation to Kenya, the Kenyan Administrative Justice Commission, and four Portuguese institutions, the Ombudsman’s Office, the Supreme Administrative Court, the Attorney General’s Office, and the Commission for Access to Administrative Documents.
