International Ombudsman Institute

The International Ombudsman Institute (IOI) is a global organization that promotes and supports the role of ombudsmen and similar institutions in various countries. An ombudsman is an official who investigates complaints against government agencies or organizations, helping to ensure accountability and fairness. The IOI provides training, shares best practices, and advocates for the establishment and strengthening of ombudsman offices worldwide. By doing so, it helps protect citizens' rights, enhance governance, and improve public administration, contributing to a more transparent and just society.
