PORT MORESBY - As the end of 2023 settles, it’s time to turn the page and raise the sails of anticipation for the year ahead.
But before embarking on a new year, we should take a moment to reflect on our small wins and learnings that propelled us through a season of collaboration, advocacy and unwavering momentum.
This past quarter was busy for us at TIPNG. We hosted a chapter exchange with Transparency International Vanuatu, forging bonds of solidarity and sharing knowledge and experiences that will strengthen our collective fight for transparency across the Pacific.
We launched our 2024 corporate membership program, inviting businesses to join our cause and opening up the opportunity to engage with them in building better governance in PNG.
Our relentless advocacy for better elections reached new heights as the Special Parliamentary Committee on the 2022 elections tabled its report, incorporating our recommendations for robust electoral integrity – an important victory for democracy in PNG.
On the global stage, our voices resonated loud and clear at the United Nations Conference of the States Parties and the United Nations Convention against Corruption.
Next month, we host the 12th Mike Manning Youth Democracy Camp in Port Moresby to build young people’s understanding of good governance.
We also have on board students undergoing internship and training. We hope the young people we engage through our programs will become anti-corruption champions with the tools and knowledge to build a just society.
So, as we set our sights on 2024, our focus is clear.
We will continue to campaign for strengthened electoral integrity and empowerment of citizens. We will continue to champion ethical business practices and the fostering of a culture of transparency permeating to every corner of PNG.
We need your unwavering support, your commitment and your voice. Join us through our 2024 membership and wishing you a joyous Christmas.
