Transparency International Nepal (TIN) is a civil society institution dedicated to increasing public accountability and curbing corruption in all walks of life. It is registered at the Kathmandu District Administration Office and is affiliated with the Social Welfare Council.

TIN is one of national chapters of Transparency International, a NGO that leads a global movement against corruption. Transparency International is active in more than 100 countries with its secretariat in Berlin. It builds up support for the national chapters as part of a growing international movement for a transparent and corruption-free society.

Given the reality that corruption is a cross-cutting issue which inhibits all aspects of Nepal’s development, TIN has taken a multi-faceted approach to address corruption. Its Strategic Framework to be 2023 – 2027 is a holistic plan designed to tackle corruption using multi-pronged approach. Through advocacy; intervention; cooperation with constitutional and governmental anti-corruption agencies, focusing on internal governance and management; promoting values through a set Code of Conduct, TIN contributes as a catalyst in the fight against corruption.

TIN currently has a network of 13 Affiliated Organizations (AO) in 13 districts of Nepal, which function as its outreach. It has strong relationship with like-minded organizations, media and several state institutions. Through its continuous activism over a decade, TIN has established itself as a leading anti-corruption agency in Nepal.
