Irish Ambassador Cait Moran expressed her satisfaction over the work done by ‘Towards Transparency’ over the years of partnership with Irish Aid and expressed commitment to support the organisation in the future as well.

Vien Levron, Founder and Executive Director of Towards Transparency described their 10-year journey as an organisation, the VIS program and thanked both Ambassadors for their commitment for an important cause.
