Open Lens – Nonprofit Governance Insight and Consolidation
Open Lens, developed by I61 Foundation, is a targeted support programme designed to strengthen governance, transparency, and regulatory compliance within nonprofit organisations (NPOs) in Mauritius.
The programme provides hands-on, tailored guidance through a structured assessment, personalised support to manage compliance gaps, and strategic follow-up.
Open Lens empowers NPOs to build stronger, more accountable organisations aligned with Mauritian regulations and global best practices.
Comprehensive Support for Governance & Compliance
Open Lens delivers a practical and structured approach to strengthening nonprofit operations:
- A comprehensive review of governance structures, internal processes, and compliance status
- Identification of gaps, risks, and priority areas for improvement
- Practical guidance on meeting Mauritian nonprofit regulatory requirements
- Support with administrative and regulatory processes (including submissions and calculations where relevant)
- Access to ready-to-use templates and tools to streamline internal operations and regulatory submissions.

This approach ensures that organisations not only understand their regulatory requirements but are equipped to implement them efficiently.
