General description of the CSO work in the anti-corruption area
Several areas comprise the principal activities of TI BiH: advocacy, legal advice, corruption monitoring and measuring, policy formulation and training of other partner organisations. These activities focus on BiH as well as some of the countries of the region (know-how transfer and sharing of analytical outputs) and, through the TI network, several countries beyond. Over the last 15 years TI BiH has developed concrete mechanisms for monitoring corruption in BiH, measuring the progress of governments and disseminating information to the public through regular reports on corruption. TI BiH monitors the implementation of anticorruption reforms, in particular with regard to the prosecution of corruption, conflict of interest, political party finance, public procurement, whistleblower protection, public administration reform, free access to information and confiscation of criminal and illegal assets.
