Transparency International Papua New Guinea

Transparency International Papua New Guinea (TIPNG) is a chapter of Transparency International, a global non-profit, non- government organization dedicated to empowering people in Papua New Guinea to take action against corruption. TIPNG was formed in 1997 with the aim of combating corruption in Papua New Guinea and promoting openness, honesty and accountability in public and private dealings. TIPNG is a membership based association, guided by a voluntary Board of Directors who are leaders in the respective sectors in which they work. TIPNG believes the corruption is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain, and it hurts everyone whose life, livelihood or happiness depends on the integrity of people in a position of authority.
