In the past five years, under different grant schemes, both the development agencies of Australia (Aus Aid) and New Zealand (NZAid) have specifically helped with its institutional development. The grants have enabled APD and TI New Zealand to play an important role in strengthening chapters’ capacities in Asia and the Pacific, increasing the demand for good governance and building a stronger anti-corruption movement throughout the entire Asia Pacific region.

Since 2004, several national chapters have turned into highly professional civil society organizations (CSOs). Managing growing budgets and implementing multiple projects, some chapters employ numerous staff members, mobilise hundreds of volunteers, and have become prominent anticorruption organizations in their respective countries.

The purpose of the TIAP 2012 Strategy is to increase the effectiveness and credibility of the whole anti-corruption movement in Asia Pacific, and strengthen the contribution of results-oriented anti-corruption activities in the region.

The TIAP network consists of 20 National Chapters, Chapters in Formation and National Contacts. The Asia Pacific Department (APD) acts as coordinator for TIAP.

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.
