Towards Transparency (TT) was established in November 2008 as a Vietnamese non-profit and non-state consulting company. In March 2009, TT became the official National Contact of Transparency International (TI) in Vietnam.Transparency International (TI) is the global civil society organisation working to stop corruption. TI works through National Chapters, National Contacts, and other partners in more than 100 countries. Its international secretariat is based in Berlin, Germany. In Vietnam, TT has supported the TI Secretariat in designing and executing the TI Vietnam Programme 2009-2012: “Strengthening Anti-corruption Demand from Government, Private Sector and Society”.
During the past three years, TT has received increasing recognition from national and international stakeholders as a key civil society actor in promoting transparency and accountability in Vietnam. In 2013, TI and TT are beginning the implementation of the next, ambitious phase of the TI Vietnam programme (2013-2015). It will involve an expanded effort to encourage and support the engagement of civil society organisations, citizens (in particular the youth) and the business sector in addressing corruption. TI/TT will also place an increased emphasis on developing and implementing integrity and transparency solutions in close partnership with stakeholders from government, business and civil society. Based on the initial achievements under the 2009-2012 programme, TI/TT will continue their work to help improve anti-corruption policy and its implementation through evidence-based advocacy.
In response to increased interest amongst government stakeholders, TI/TT’s work with the public sector will also be expanded through a focus on local government-level solutions for
improved transparency.
