Current TI Fiji Projects
Transparency International Fiji continues to promote awareness on the nature of corruption and options towards its eradication. It encourages members of the society and organizations to promote integrity, accountability and transparency. Promoting major conventions like the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) is one of the ways in which TI Fiji works with others to create a society freed from corruption, thus a better Fiji to live in!
Currently TI Fiji is involved in a number of awareness as well as institutional strengthening initiatives:
- Open Budget Project (OBI): TI Fiji collaborated with the Open Budget Institute in Washington USA through 2007 in an agreement of the transparency of the state budget management system. Results have indicated that our system does not provide enough information to the general public. TI Fiji will work with the relevant agencies and stakeholders to promote transparency in the implementation of the current budget and in the next budget process.
- Advocacy and Legal Advice Centre (ALAC): TI Fiji has established an Advocacy and Legal Advice Centre (ALAC) and joins twenty-one (21) other national chapters around the world that have also embarked on this project. ALAC is an international programme developed by Transparency International, to provide legal assistance to witnesses and victims of corruption otherwise unable to access redress and provide valuable information about corruption 'hotspots' to drive the advocacy efforts of the anti-corruption movement.
- Youth Programme: Through the Vodafone ATH's World's
