Transparency International aims to increase standards of governance and transparency by empowering its National Chapters (NCs) and citizens to address corruption through evidence-based advocacy and to pursue corruption-related complaints. The programme will achieve its purpose through four components:

• Capacity Development/ Methodology Assistance (BUILD): Inputs from TI-S on advocacy, project methodologies and institutional development.
• Advocacy and Legal Advice Centres (ALACs):  ALACs empower people to make and pursue corruption-related complaints, then translate these concerns into structural changes and targeted advocacy campaigns.
• Research, Stakeholders, Implementation (RSI): Following research of corruption risks and commitments, local partners will convene stakeholders to devise and implement projects to address identified weaknesses and recommendations.
• Politics (POLITICS): Projects to improve the transparency and accountability of democratic institutions, as well as to improve the effectiveness of oversight systems.
