The Advocacy & Legal Advice Center (ALAC) is one of the most dynamic new anti-corruption intervention experiments by the global TI movement. There are more than 40 ALACs in 40 countries, the majority in Eastern Europe.

ALAC is a complaints desk. It provides free legal services and assistance to victims and witnesses of corruption.

ALAC aims to create dialogue, informal feedback and working partnerships with government institutions charged with corruption. It is an avenue for advocacy and to educate the public on their rights and responsibilities to counter corruption.

Corruption is...a cold, vicious, often violent sacrifice of citizen security, for a narrow, greedy, private, personal profit on the part of a crooked of official. - Al Gore
