BackThe IOI General Secretariat is pleased to present the IOI Annual Report 2010/2011, highlighting developments within the Institute over the past membership year.
The IOI was able to provide clear membership value and to offer enhanced services to its members. Among many initiatives, were the SYT training courses held by the General Secretariat in partnership with the Ontario Ombudsman André Marin, who generously made his successful training programme available. In addition, EUR 50,000 were invested in co-financing different projects in the IOI regions of Africa, Europe, the Americas and the Caribbean. The IOI has equally worked on its research profile and is currently implementing the first comparative study of independent ombudsman institutions in the APOR region.
The new membership year ahead has two clear priorities. First, joint efforts will concentrate on preparations for the most important event in the ombudsman community, i.e. the IOI world conference in New Zealand in 2012. Second, the IOI will take the necessary steps towards implementing a comprehensive IOI reform with transparency, accountability and greater inclusiveness as its key elements.
The annual report is available in English, the French and Spanish edition will be published within the coming days. The report can also be downloaded free of charge from the PUBLICATIONS area of the IOI website. One paper copy will be sent to each member of the Institute.
