[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.

Jose Ibarra A. Angeles
Lead Facilitator, AP-INTACT

According to a Nepalese journalist, the Anti-Corruption law and Prevention of Corruption act of 2002 laid the foundation for numerous investigations, scandals, and court cases.

Invisible Trillions review: Global capitalism operates beyond the rule of law and threatens democracy. Raymond W. Baker's new book "Invisible Trillions" argues that "secrecy has become as important for corporations as transparent and taxable profits used to be". "Only radical improvements across the globe in financial transparency and accountability, and in regulatory capacity and integrity, can break this cycle of political decay and despair". The Conversation: https://theconversation.com/invisible-trillions-review-global-capitalism-operates-beyond-the-rule-of-law-and-threatens-democracy-199311   [Blog] The dynamics of violent extremism in sub-Saharan Africa.
