About TAN
The Transparency and Accountability Network (TAN) is a growing coalition of multi-sectoral organizations, which seeks to contribute significantly to the reduction of corruption in the Philippines. It catalyzes and advances a comprehensive and multi-sectoral transparency and accountability strategy founded on the prevention and prosecution of corruption, and the promotion of a corruption-intolerant society.
In the year 2000, TAN emerged within the context of heightened concern over the lack of transparency and accountability in governance, which ultimately led to People Power II. Various groups frequently met in the course of organizing and attending various conferences on anti-corruption. During these meetings, the idea of forming a loose network to coordinate anti-corruption initiatives gradually evolved. The Network was finally formalized in November 2000 with 19 organizations as founding members.
TAN has been supported by various development partners in many of its endeavors:
The Asia Foundation, U.S. Agency for International Development, World Bank, U.N. Development Programme, International Foundation for Electoral Systems, Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, U.S. Embassy, and AusAID.
