Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) is the Bangladeshi branch of the Berlin-based Transparency International, a civil society organisation dedicated to fighting against corruption.
History TIB started its activities in 1997, under founding chairman Syed Humayun Kabir.
In 1999, it started its Investigative Journalism Awards (IJA) programme to recognise and encourage in-depth reporting on corruption.
In 2016, it criticised new government rules on NGOs that received foreign funding. It also asked the government to not take a 2 billion dollar development loan from the world Bank. This law was created after TIB Executive Director Iftekharuzzaman called the country's Parliament a 'puppet show stage'.
