What is ALAC?
ALAC is one of the most dynamic new anti-corruption intervention
experiments by the global TI movement. There are now 36 ALACs
in 16 countries, the majority in Eastern Europe.
ALAC aims to create dialogue, informal feedback, and working
partnerships with government institutions charged with corruption.
ALAC provides free legal services and assistance to victims
and witnesses of corruption. ALAC seeks to translate concerns
on corruption into structural changes for better local and
national governance. It is an avenue for advocacy and to educate
the public on their rights and responsibilities to counter
corruption.
