BACKGROUND

Transparency International (TI) is a global civil society organisation leading the fight against corruption. Through more than 90 Chapters worldwide and an international secretariat in Berlin, Germany, TI raises awareness of the damaging effects of corruption and works with partners in government, business and civil society to develop and implement effective measures to tackle it.

The Advocacy and Legal Advice Center (ALAC) is a TI approach seeking to empower citizens to make and pursue corruption related and translate these concerns into structural changes. For that the ALACs provide free legal advice and assistance to victims or witnesses of corruption, help citizens pursue corruption-related complaints and undertake advocacy for broader reform.

Nowadays there are more than 60 Advocacy and Legal Advice Center (ALAC) in the world in around 40 countries. The ALACs are managed by TI National Chapters in those countries. The first center was created in Eastern Europe in 2003 and in the African continent in 2008. Nowadays there are around 25 ALACs in Africa and the Middle East.

Based on evidence gathered on corruption in diverse sectors and from victims and witnesses of corrupt acts, the NCs advocate for effective anti-corruption policy and practice at the national, regional, municipal and local levels. TI National Chapters seek constructive engagement with the authorities and other partners to push for change in laws, practices and public participation. Based on the new TI Strategy 2015 one of the main identified priorities for the movement is to increase empowerment of people and partners around the world to take action against corruption, and the ALAC is one of the main tools of the NCs to contribute to this priority.
