The first-ever Pacific Islands Corruption Barometer is being conducted through Transparency International’s Indo-Pacific Partnership for Strong, Transparent, Responsive & Open Networks for Good Governance.

Transparency International New Zealand along with funding partners, is embarking on an exciting research project on corruption and money laundering across the Pacific.

“Anti-corruption advocacy in Fiji is urgently needed", says Jofiliti Veikoso, the Board Chairperson of Civic Leaders for Clean Transactions Integrity Fiji (CLCT-IF). "We are deeply grateful for the continued support of both Transparency International New Zealand and Transparency International in expediting our work during this challenging pandemic period."

Mary Jane Kivalu has joined the Transparency International New Zealand team as the Project Manager of our Network for South Pacific communities.

Leaders of the anti-corruption movement around the Pacific region convened in early February to facilitate networking, information sharing and to enhance the resilience of Pacific island countries against corruption.

TINZ is excited with the opportunity and some resource, to develop a South Pacific network focussing around anti-corruption and the benefits of transparency and integrity. The network will include organisations and individuals in the Pacific diaspora in New Zealand, while connecting to South Pacific nations, and Fiji.
