TIB's mission is to drive a collective effort against corruption and promote transparency in Bangladesh's governance, politics, and business. By mobilising citizens and fostering participatory institutions, laws, and practices, TIB aims to create a corruption-free society.
TIB envisions a Bangladesh free of corruption. It strives to achieve this by raising awareness, fostering integrity, and driving policy changes for a better society. TIB leverages research data, advocacy resources, and citizen engagement to enable citizens to challenge corruption, take action, and hold the government accountable for good governance and transparency.
TIB is dedicated to upholding the values of democracy, justice, rule of law, transparency, accountability, integrity, and impartiality. These principles form the core of all TIB's initiatives, which are reflected in its research and communication efforts.
TIB aims to drive a participatory movement against corruption by increasing accountability through improved institutions, laws, and practices. Established as a Trust in 1996, TIB became a registered non-governmental organisation in 1998. It strives to reduce corruption and advance good governance in Bangladesh through research, public awareness campaigns, and advocacy.
The core project of TIB is the Participatory Action Against Corruption - Towards Transparency and Accountability (PACTA). The project engages TIB’s core actors through technology, supporting community engagement, and various anti-corruption activities. The project utilises TIB's flagship mobile app - PACTApp, where volunteer groups provide data on governance deficiencies through their mobile devices, and TIB receives real-time datasets for analysis. This robust data collection reinforces TIB's mission to uncover, analyse, and combat corruption and play a crucial role in TIB's advocacy, social engagement, and public office liaison. TIB implements the project through 3 core divisions focusing on research, communications, and citizen participation.
