Tiger Eye F’dation Partners Klarity To Fight Corruption Tiger Eye Foundation has announced partnership
with Klarity AB, an online community where
activists can anonymously crowdsource video-based
evidence against corruption issues in their local
neighborhoods.
Tiger Eye will be working with Klarity during the
pilot launch to build up its online community of
users and assist in collaboration with local
authorities.
As of today Tiger Eye are launching a partnership
with Klarity with the aim of making petty
corruption a high-risk low-gain activity. Klarity
is an online community that allows users to upload
video content that exposes acts of corruption. It
aims to create a community that connects citizens,
activists, journalists, CSOs, and government
bodies. A key component is that all content is
carefully peer-reviewed, ensuring its relevance
and reliability.
Tiger Eye is Klarity’s first Key Community
Partner, a collaborating organization with a
proven track record for fighting corruption in
local communities. Tiger Eye and its founder Anas
Aremeyaw Anas have been working closely with
Klarity for several months to receive feedback on
the platform and understand the problems that
anti-corruption groups face.
Klarity is launching the pilot version of the
platform in Ghana, Accra, because of the
opportunity of being able to collaborate with such
a well renowned organization such as Tiger Eye,
Ghana’s established press freedom, the strong
and active civil society as well as the speed of
adoption of smart phones and new technology. From
Ghana, Klarity hopes to spread the platform all
around the world and evolve it into tackling not
only petty corruption but all forms of human
rights’ abuse in both private and public sector
institutions.
Anas Aremeyaw Anas, founder of Tiger Eye
Foundation said: “We are very excited to be
working with Klarity. After many years of working
as an investigative journalist and with the Tiger
Eye Foundation I have witnessed the difficulty of
exposing corruption first hand. This platform will
allow us to expose petty corruption in a safer way
and help mobilize civil society to increase
accountability on public institutions. We are
looking forward to be a part of this platform and
believe that it can have a long-term societal
change.”
Kristoffer Hansson, CEO of Klarity: “We believe
that the powers of technology can be used to
tackle one of the world’s largest problems;
corruption. Our method deters potential offenders,
it involves organizations that drive change on a
policy level and promotes good governance –
highlighting the heroes holding public office who
fight to make their local communities better.” Source - Ultimatefmonline.com/Tiger Eye
