The Asia Pacific Department (APD) supports the TIAP regional forum in sharing experiences, lessons learned and anti-corruption tools. APD also helps to underpin networking, which facilitates and implements concrete thematic anti-corruption cooperation in the region.

The APD focuses on building Chapters’ capacity to become strong engines of anti-corruption work at national level. The APD develops and coordinates regional projects cooperatively with the Chapters, provides training on various issues, and organises regional meetings and workshops to facilitate expertise sharing throughout the TIAP network. The APD also represents the Asia Pacific region in several regional and global anti-corruption events and initiatives.

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.
