About Us
Our Story
Founded in 1997, we have over two and a half decades of experience in fighting against corruption in PNG.
Transparency International PNG Inc. is a national chapter of the Global Transparency International movement. Following a business ethics seminar in 1996, a number of concerned Papua New Guineans came together and established a national chapter of TI, to promote transparency in public and private dealings. TIPNG was then launched on January 27, 1997 and has since been at the forefront of the fight against corruption in PNG.
Our Vision
We envision a prosperous, just, and transparent Papua New Guinea, where integrity drives progress and corruption is no longer a barrier to social, economic, and political development.
Our Mission
To empower individuals and organisations in PNG to act against corruption.
Team
Meet Our People
