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 1996. 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.[1] This law was created after TIB Executive Director Iftekharuzzaman called Parliament a 'puppet show stage'.[2]
