Whistleblowers’ Function

Ethics Institute of East Africa in partnership with its global partners through the WHISTLEBLOWERS OF AMERICA, seeks to transform the way everyone thinks about
whistleblowing and demonstrates the importance of whistleblowers in a transparent society. EthicEA provides practical, accessible, and affordable assistance to whistleblowers through advocacy and advisory service initiatives geared towards enhanced protection and fairness for whistleblowers within East African region. All whistleblowers, especially, those individuals who have suffered retaliation after having blown the whistle against fraud, bribery and other forms of corruption, are encouraged to register with EthicEA for future networking, collaboration,
engagement and support.

The Institute therefore has opened registration of whistleblowers to become associate members of Ethics Institute of East Africa. This membership of whistleblowers is geared towards helping and supporting whistleblowers to network with each other, tell their own stories and motivate the society to embrace whistleblowing as an acceptable mode of reporting fraud and corruption, thus ensuring a transparent and accountable society. This membership does not confer ownership of the institute or any associated right or obligation. It is ONLY to support whistleblowers in East Africa.
