Our work in Asia Pacific

Our work in Asia spans asset recovery, corruption prevention, environmental governance and business integrity. We combine technical assistance through in-country advisors with targeted regional initiatives.

In Indonesia, our Green Corruption programme works with environmental agencies and state-owned enterprises to strengthen corruption prevention linked to forestry, natural resources and carbon markets. Through a programme launched in 2025, we support Indonesian partners to strengthen corruption risk management approaches and safeguards relating to environmental governance. Recent programmes also provided enforcement and asset recovery support linked to environmental crime. This work is delivered together with partners including Transparency International, WWF and TRAFFIC.

In Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, our International Centre for Asset Recovery supports government efforts to recover stolen assets through a combination of in-country advisors and HQ support.

In Thailand and the Philippines, our work primarily promotes business integrity through partnerships with public institutions, international organisations and the private sector.

At the regional level, we contribute to anti-corruption and business integrity initiatives across the region, including serving on the Advisory Group of the OECD-ADB Anti-Corruption Initiative for Asia and the Pacific. For a multilateral development bank, we are also conducting a survey on integrity challenges affecting companies operating in the region.
