From large developing countries like China and India to small island nations like Vanuatu to Australia and New Zealand, TIAP cover a vastly diverse area geographically, economically and culturally.

This site will help you to learn more about Transparency International Asia Pacific and its work. TIAP is made up of the Asia Pacific Department of the TI Secretariat, based in Berlin, and 20 National Chapters, National Chapters in Formation and National contacts.

Rapid economic growth in much of East and South East Asia and in India has profound governance implications. However, many Asia Pacific countries suffer from corruption, in some cases endemic. At the same time, there are outstanding examples of transparency and accountability in the region. By working together effectively, both at government and non-governmental levels, regional stakeholders can share best practices in order to reduce corruption.

TIAP Network

TI's Asia Pacific based National Chapters form TIAP, the regional anti-corruption forum for sharing experiences, lessons learned and anti-corruption tools.

The TIAP network consists of 19 National Chapters, Chapters in Formation and National Contacts, in four sub-regional groups. Without the Chapters, TIAP would not exist. They carry out important anti-corruption work at the national level. Awareness raising, advocacy on policy reforms and good governance, as well as mobilisation of the youth, are examples of activities through which Chapters bring out corruption related problems and causes to the public eye, accelerate media discussion, and provide concrete methods for tackling corruption. By working cooperatively with governments, private sector and other civil society organisations, Chapters make the best use of the TIAP anti-corruption network.
