The Transparency International Sri Lanka (TISL) will launch an online platform today, which will track the progress that has been made by the Government on the pledges made by it at the 2016 Anti-Corruption Summit held in London, UK.

In May 2016, 43 Governments and six international organisations met in London for the Anti-Corruption Summit, resulting in a bold Global Declaration Against Corruption, and making 648 commitments. The Government of Sri Lanka, represented by President Maithripala Sirisena, was also a participant at the Anti-Corruption Summit and made several broad-based pledges, ranging from the prosecution of grand corruption to the protection of victims and witnesses of crime.

TISL said the online tracker will no doubt prove to be a very useful tool for the media, citizens and other stakeholders in the fight against corruption.
