As we turn the page on 2011, PTF is energized to start a new year of anti-corruption work. Last year proved to be a banner year for our organization. We were able to commit more than double the amount of project funds to grassroots civil society organizations (CSOs) than in 2010 and saw our pool of volunteer advisers increase as well! This growth has allowed PTF to strengthen our grassroots networks and partnerships while positioning us to broaden our reach and escalate our impact up the policy ladder.

PTF Asia Workshop: A great success
In Jaipur, India the PTF Asia Regional Peer Learning and Knowledge Sharing Workshop was met with extraordinary success. In early December, CSOs from eight Asian countries converged with respected experts to share personal experiences in fighting corruption and discuss lessons learned. The results of this workshop, which will be published on the PTFwebsite include over 30 case studies of anti-corruption strategies and techniques.
