Open information
Making budgets, plans, and public decisions easier for everyone to find and understand.
A clearer coast. A stronger future.
We follow the money, amplify community voices, and make public development more open and accountable across Kenya’s coast.
Too often, decisions about the coast are made far from the people they affect. CDTI exists to close that distance — with trusted information, independent research, and spaces for people to participate.
More about CDTIWhat we do
We work at the intersection of research, civic participation, and public accountability.
Making budgets, plans, and public decisions easier for everyone to find and understand.
Creating meaningful ways for coastal communities to shape the development around them.
Following public commitments and turning evidence into better outcomes for residents.
When people have the information, they have the power to ask better questions — and demand better answers.
