Founder of Tiger Eye Foundation, Anas Aremeyaw Anas and Klarity CEO Eliza Kücükaslan unveiled the collaboration in Denmark.
The JeSuisAnas.org platform has over 100 videos from Anas’ latest work on exposing corruption in Ghana football uploaded.
It is expected to connect citizens, activists and journalists in Ghana in the fight against corruption.
“We are very excited to be working with Klarity. After many years of working as an investigative journalist and with the Tiger Eye Foundation, I have witnessed the difficulty of exposing corruption first hand. This platform will allow us to expose not only grand corruption but also petty corruption in a safer way and help mobilise civil society to increase accountability on public institutions,” Anas said at a short ceremony.
Klarity will provide the technological infrastructure and digital tools to upload videos by Ghanaians on their daily encounter with corruption.

Anas and Tiger Eye bring a deep and thorough understanding of activism and journalism to the table, while we provide the tools to engage citizens en masse and multiply their impact.
“We will continue to build partnerships with prominent organisations as we expand Klarity into new countries,” says Klarity CEO Eliza Kücükaslan.
