PTF seeks to promote CSOs piloting innovative ways to persuade public agencies and governments to improve their accountability and reduce corruption. PTF will support some 70 direct action anti-corruption projects to be implemented by partner CSOs in poor countries during 2008-2012 providing both small grants and technical support. Through its project support, PTF will help civil society organizations to engage in specific time-bound actions that aim to curb corruption through sustainable governance reforms and the direct monitoring of public services and transactions. PTF uses highly experienced volunteer governance specialists to advise on project design and grant management and thereby help build CSO capacity to fight corruption. It works with both its existing CSO partners and competent new ones. It focuses on actions that have identifiable impact and will disseminate lessons learnt. Finally, it will test an innovative model in which experienced senior volunteers help strengthen CSO capacity.
