FOKUS BA VIJESTI SERIES
TI BiH has trained hundreds of public officials at all levels in implementing the newly adopted Freedom of access to information Law, but also assisted the authorities to monitor its implementation and put together a series of legal amendments. TI BiH strongly advocated signing and ratification of the UN Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) that eventually led to the public pressure build-up and the authorities’ positive reaction, making BiH one of the state parties to UNCAC. Its most notable achievements are two National Integrity System Studies that analysed the legal and institutional capacities of the country to effectively combat corruption, which later became the basis for the NGO’s inputs into the country’s anti-corruption strategy, the latest version of which is actually being drafted by TI BiH in close collaboration with the national parliament. It is featured in hundreds of articles and medial clips annually, it publishes reports and studies and works closely with all pillars of the society. Members come from all across the country and it was one of the first NGOs to have a proportionate representation from all towns and cities, with professionals from very diverse and balanced backgrounds.Įver since, it has grown into one of the most visible NGOs in the country, well recognised and widely acknowledged for its good governance, accountability and transparency contributions. Its headquarters were located in Banja Luka and the offices subsequently opened in Sarajevo and more recently in the District of Brcko.
