The Community Coalition Against Corruption (CCAC) convened its first steering committee meeting for 2024 this week (Tuesday 16/04/2024) at the Holiday Inn Port Moresby to set priority areas of action, which now includes DSIP and improved accountability of the distribution of Public Funds.
Dear Members, Friends and Supporters,
We’ve hit the ground running this year, working towards our commitment to make PNG a fairer, more honest place.
We launched the results of the 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index, with a strong call for that regular meetings of the National Anti Corruption Strategy Taskforce must be convened. The NACSTF is headed by the Departments of PM & NEC and the Justice & Attorney General.
Even though the riots of January 10 were a setback, they strengthened our resolve to continue to call for good governance and respect for Rule of Law by all citizens.
Also in this quarter, we farewelled our legal and communication interns, continued to engage with our members and participated in the 3rd Summit for Democracy in Seoul, South Korea.
Our Strategic Plan 2019 – 2023 ended last year. The wins were great but the opportunities to further our advocacy are even greater. As the team at TIPNG embark on the formation of our new Strategic Plan, we want to acknowledge your unwavering support towards our work.
This year, we will continue to work with key stakeholders to push for electoral reforms and advocate for the resourcing of integrity institutions to enable them to carry out their mandates.
