An important part of AMAN’s strategy for combating corruption is not limited to local initiatives/activities but includes AMAN’s involvement in activities on international and regional levels. One of AMAN’s main objectives under programme Capacity Building was the completion of TI’s accreditation process to become Transparency Palestine. The Coalition of AMAN is currently the Palestinian National Chapter for Transparency International (TI), and is acting as the contact organization for regional transparency chapters, and other similar organizations working in the areas of transparency, accountability, and integrity. Other AMAN activities include active participation of its members in TI’s Annual General Meetings and regional meetings for the past four years. These members have also presented papers at these global meeting on issues pertaining to Palestinian corruption. Currently, AMAN is actively participating in the network for the Middle East and Near Africa (MENA) to make an Arabic adaptation to TI’s Sourcebook and efforts on the Public’s Right to Access of Information. AMAN is also preparing to complete the “Input Form” for TI’s Global Corruption Report 2006.

Based on a principled commitment to the objectives of ensuring integrity, transparency and accountability, in response to the pressing need for enhancing and fostering democracy and a system of good governance in Palestine, and as an embodiment of these principles which form essential components of democracy, a group of concerned and serious Palestinian institutions of civil society took the initiative in February 2000 to form "The Coalition for Accountability and Integrity-AMAN." The purpose for such an initiative is to launch a program for combating corruption in the Palestinian Society, and achieve the widest possible participation in its implementation. Representatives of the founding institutions collectively comprise the executive body of the Coalition with the possibility of further additions according to need.
