The Integrity Pact and Public Contracting Programme was created at the end of 2002 to respond to a need within the TI movement to mobilize, share and multiply increasing expertise in the area of Public Contracting and to attend an increasing need of support on an issue identified as one of TI's priorities.

The goal of the program is to provide a professional knowledge-based service to the movement that will help it increase its effectiveness in achieving its mission and vision in the area of public contracting. In doing so, it will also aim at "demystifying" the problem of corruption in public contracting so that different actors feel better empowered to address it and create innovative approaches against it.

Current Programme’s Activities around the world include providing guidance and support to TI Chapters, training, provision of expert advice and development of information resources and guidance documents.
