Anti-Corruption Work Around the World
|
| Coinciding with its 15th anniversary, Transparency International’s (TI) held its 2008 Annual Membership Meeting (AMM) from 28-29 October in Athens, Greece. |
Around 300 delegates, including representatives of over 90 national chapters, individual members and international secretariat staff, gathered for the largest AMM to-date, underlining just how far the world’s leading anti-corruption organisation has progressed in the past 15 years – from a few visionary individuals to a truly global movement.
The board elections saw TI Chair, Huguette Labelle (Canada), and Vice-Chair, Akere Muna (Cameroon) re-elected to another three-year term as TI’s global leadership. As well as re-electing three further current board members, Sion Assidon (Morocco), Boris Divjak (Bosnia & Herzegovina) and Gerard Zovighian (Lebanon), the TI movement elected three new members: Rueben L. Lifuka (Zambia), Delia Matilde Ferreira Rubio (Argentina) and Iftekhar Zaman (Bangladesh). Details of the new board members can be read here.
TI co-founder and outgoing board member, Frank Vogl, is set to continue his engagement with TI as a member of its Advisory Council, after having served four terms on the board.
In addition to the board election, the TI movement also passed resolutions on four critical issues: the global financial crisis, the UK’s record on combating foreign bribery, the protection of civil society advocates and the weakening of anti-corruption initiatives in South Korea.
