"The initiative has been receiving good response, even though we do not have a dedicated staff to update the Facebook page and Twitter. As the third most corrupt country in South Asia, Nepal has many untold stories of corruption. The issue is under-reported due to lack of resources. As the culprits go unpunished, it gives rise to impunity. We are really trying to do something in raising voices against corruption. We need your guidance and support to move ahead. Our team is actually planning to develop a news portal dedicated to document infamous corruption scandals in the coming days [with support] from like-minded institutions and disseminate them through social networking sites. Looking forward to suggestions from your side."

[Read the original e-Query below]
Dear AP-INTACT members,
UNDP Bangkok Regional Hub is looking to start a new social media platform on Facebook that deals with issues revolving around Responsive and Accountable Institutions.
Please tell us about initiatives around the region that have Facebook pages -- or on other social media platforms such as WeChat (China, Singapore), Line (Japan, Singapore), KakaoTalk (SouthKorea), Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp (Singapore), Viber, and others including blogs -- that focus on anti-corruption, judicial integrity, open government, local government, sustainable development, and overall service delivery.
By mapping different social media initiatives throughout the region we can reach out to these groups and inform them about the new UNDP project and, hence, increase visits to both our site and their sites.
This is an open-ended e-query with no deadline. Please share with us any information that is relevant to this query.
Best regards.
