Our HackCorruption Malaysia teams have pitched a diverse range of tech solutions in Kuala Lumpur, addressing challenges in climate finance accountability and public procurement, among others. This regional hackathon marks another milestone in the HackCorruption journey, following impactful events in South Africa, Nepal, and Colombia. The program, supported by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement at the U.S. Department of State and the USAID Countering Transnational Corruption Grand Challenge for Development, aims to support talented individuals from civic tech, CSO, and activist backgrounds. The Malaysian regional hackathon brought together changemakers from Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand to collaborate and innovate. The Lab is implementing HackCorruption in partnership with the Center for International Private Enterprise and Development Gateway,

The hackathon covered four main problem sets: Budget and Ownership Transparency, Open Contracting & Transparency, Open Contracting & Transparency of Public Procurement, Digital Citizenship to Constrain Corruption, and Climate Finance Transparency. Participants were also encouraged to create tools and approaches to curb the threat of transnational corruption within the scope of any of the four problem sets. Transnational corruption crosses borders, involves global networks, and strips countries of their wealth in a massive transfer of resources from developing to developed countries.

Our winning teams will be announced soon and receive additional financial support of up to $10,000, mentorship, and ongoing training to further develop their ideas. Below, you can explore the innovative solutions proposed by the teams.
