Projects and Activities

TI PNG dedicates its core resources to undertaking the following activities in an ongoing fashion:

1. Providing a TI PNG position on hot issues of the day, such as public appointments, misappropriation of public money, and the passage of laws pertaining to our mandate, through media releases, letters to the editor and position papers to government.

2. Disseminating information about corruption issues to the wider public, including a quarterly newsletter to all members and supporters.

3. Supporting the growth of coalitions amongst wider PNG society, such as the Youth Against Corruption Association (YACA) and the Community Coalition Against Corruption (CCAC).

Additionally, TI PNG undertakes project and program activity that aligns with current strategic objectives. Our current program priorities are:

1. Electoral Reform and Awareness, focusing on the 2007 national elections;

2. Further work in partnership with the PNG Department of Education to ensure that anti-corruption values are at the core of our education system;

3. Legislative reform such as a Freedom of Information Act, a Whistleblowers Protection Act, and the development of an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC);

4. ‘Working with government’ projects such as e-procurement, budget transparency, tracking resource equity, and sector status reports;

5. Corruption research, diagnostics, and information dissemination.
