Organization mission and work description:

GI works in various countries through the Focal Integrity Teams, which are country chapters for the organization. The principles upon which IGI executes its mandate are anchored on traditional Biblical doctrines and values. Reformed Christianity seeks to interpret the meaning and purpose of life, including leadership and good governance in terms of the purpose of the Creator God, revealed in the Bible. So the ethos of IGI is that of servant leadership and requires objectivity, neutrality and equality at all times. We encourage the building of an open society where both leaders and those led are ready to speak up and defend the truth, rejecting any form of fraudulent behavior. Although IGI is a reformed Christian organization, we work with individual professionals from all walks of life irrespective of religion. We collaborate with civil society organizations having an impeccable record of performance in the building of integrity in public service. We build partnerships with our government counterparts. Our purpose in all these networks is to cultivate personal and institutional integrity, not just among those holding office in public trust but even those in the civil society movement and the general public
