Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB)[1] is the Bangladeshi branch of the Berlin-based Transparency International, a civil society organisation dedicated to fighting against corruption.[2][3][4]
History
TIB started its activities in 1996.[5] In 2016 it criticised new government rules on NGOs that received foreign funding.[6][7] It also asked the government to not take a 2 billion dollar development loan from the world Bank.[8] This law was created after TIB Executive Director Iftekharuzzaman called Parliament a 'puppet show stage'.[9]
