Katiba Institute (KI) is a research and litigation institution established in 2011 with the mission of supporting the implementation of Kenya's 2010 Constitution, helping to resist efforts to undermine that Constitution, and developing a culture of constitutionalism in Kenya. It conducts constitutional research, provides commentary on policies and laws from a constitutional perspective, and publishes books and other materials on the Constitution. Much of its work involves litigation to enforce rights under the Constitution and ensure the proper performance of constitutional duties and responsibilities. KI also fosters the spirit of constitutionalism in the East African region by promoting academic discourse on constitutional issues and working with like-minded organisations to secure greater freedoms. KI is headed by an Executive Director and has a distinguished Board. It carries out its operations through four departments: Public Interest Litigation (PIL) unit; Programmes Department (Research and Publication, with civic education and capacity building); Communications and Knowledge Management; and Finance and Operations with institutional strengthening. Staff in the various departments do not work in silos but operate in a consultative and co-operative manner.
