NGO focuses on fighting corruption

TRANSPARENCY International PNG (TIPNG) remains focused on growing and reinforcing the efforts of a community-wide movement against corruption in the country, a senior official says.
TIPNG executive director Arianne Kassman said this during the organisation’s annual general meeting last Sunday in Port Moresby where a new board of directors was elected.
Kassman outlined TIPNG’s strategy which placed a priority on building the organisation’s internal capacity to fight corruption on multiple fronts, while growing anti-corruption networks and consolidating its anti-corruption efforts with those of other stakeholders, through strong and effectual partnerships.
“While we have had many successes over the past year, we remain focused on growing and reinforcing the efforts of a community-wide movement against corruption in PNG,” she said.
“This includes reaching out to other like-minded organisations and individuals and uniting the voice against corruption in PNG.”
The organisation’s 2019 financial report was also presented at the meeting.
