The IOI Board of Directors held its annual meeting in Willemstad (Curaçao) from 10 – 14 May 2026. The meeting was generously hosted by the Office of the Ombudsman of Curaçao and provided the perfect setting for productive meetings.

The Commission on Administrative Justice - Office of the Ombudsman, Kenya successfully implemented the fourth phase of the Ombudsman Mashinani initiative between March and May 2026 across Nairobi County’s informal settlements with support from the International Ombudsman Institute. The initiative brought free Ombudsman services closer to underserved communities, significantly enhancing access to administrative justice at the grassroots level.
