Description: The Latin American Anti-Corruption Toolkit or TILAC Toolkit developed by Transparency International (TI) highlights the enormous potential of the civil society to create mechanisms for social control, demanding and promoting action for accountable and responsive public administrations. The Latin American Anti-Corruption Toolkit presents a range of anti-corruption activities, both tools as well as experiences from Latin American countries, in an accessible and concrete format. The cases point towards the importance of collaboration with the public and private sectors and the need for coalition building within civil society. The tools are situated in the specific national socio-political context and in the context of the responsible organization. The publication includes detailed descriptions of the stages of implementation, sections on tangible positive and negative results, and lessons learned. The Latin American Anti-Corruption Toolkit covers a range of activities, in different areas, including: Corruption control in public procurement; Transparency in Election Processes; Monitoring of public institutions; Awareness raising and education; Emerging best practice in the public sector; Media; Surveys on Corruption; etc. The Toolkit presents cases that the Latin American chapters believe other civil society groups can duplicate in their own countries and users are encouraged to communicate with the organizations responsible for the different activities. Their contact information is included in the publication. The Toolkit should be considered as work in progress. Future plans include its enrichment through inclusion of the activities of other TI Chapters as well as other civil society organizations. In due course, the Toolkit could serve as best practice reference and a site for broad exchange of experience elsewhere. This Toolkit is a useful resource in promoting civic engagement and participation, as well as transparency and accountability. |
