Launch: Infrastructure Corruption Risk Assessment Tool

Launch: Infrastructure Corruption Risk Assessment Tool

Transparency International Australia (TIA) is launching a new tool to identify the loopholes that enable corruption to thrive in the infrastructure sector in the Asia-Pacific region.

This tool will help users, whether they be from government, industry or civil society, identify corruption loopholes in the process of approving infrastructure projects and focus their efforts on closing them. By guaranteeing a more efficient, honest, and fair process from the very beginning, we can ensure infrastructure projects meet the community’s needs, for current and future generations.

Join us to hear about the tool and the work we are doing to engage national and regional networks to strengthen transparency in infrastructure projects, including civil society organisations, key government institutions, and infrastructure industry stakeholders.
