Namati

"Namati is an international organization dedicated to legal empowerment. Legal empowerment is about the capacity of all people to exercise their rights and to participate in the process of governing.  In partnership with civil society groups and governments, Namati implements and evaluates innovative interventions along several themes, including environmental justice, community land protection, and the accountability of essential public services... Namati is grateful for the generous support of its partners: UKAid from the Department of International Development; AusAid, the Australian Government’s Overseas Aid Program; UNDP, the United Nations Development Program; and OSF, the Open Society Foundations."
