In the framework of the regional project “Integrity Watch in the Western Balkans and Turkey: civil society combating corruption with political integrity data”, Transparency International Türkiye (Uluslararası Şeffaflık Derneği) is launching the call for proposals for non-governmental organizations in Türkiye to fight political corruption and strengthen integrity in political financing, legislative decision-making, and public resource allocation.
