6.v.3.8: Judiciary, Procurement, and Private Sector

Tackle corruption in the judiciary, public procurement, and promote ethics in the private sector.

Other Information:

Tackling corruption in the judiciary, public procurement, and promoting ethics in the private sector are other priority areas of work for the region. In East Asia, the expertise held by chapters in public sector management allows them to address corruption in both public service delivery and public contracting. Coalition building and the mobilisation of youth against corruption have been mastered by TI Korea and need to be extended to other chapters. Though domestic bribery and corporate governance remain essential areas of engagement, foreign bribery, within and beyond Asia Pacific, has emerged as a new priority area which chapters and APD are seeking to address through the development of a regional programme in 2008. In South Asia, corruption in the judiciary and in procurement processes are pressing issues to be tackled in the region. The five chapters are developing specific projects in these areas. As a cornerstone for their work, chapters call for greater transparency in government processes and advocate for access to information legislation in their respective countries. Adamant that political corruption remains the backbone of poor governance in their South Asian region, chapters work with APD to bring the expertise gained by TI in Latin America on corruption in political party financing to South Asia.
