The delivery of COVID-19 vaccines is conducted in an equitable and transparent manner, ensuring that the right people are vaccinated, and there is no corruption in the delivery of the vaccine.

Lithuanian medical organisations such as the Lithuanian Junior Doctors Association, with the support of TI Lithuania and others, ran a professionalism campaign called #BeChange.

The goal of the initiative was to encourage medical practitioners to sign a declaration and commit to fostering transparency of the healthcare system. It is also aimed at politicians and healthcare executives to encourage them in strengthening the integrity and accountability of the healthcare sector overall.

An online platform, www.bukpokytis.lt , is available for the members of medical community to sign their pledge and access information about transparency of the healthcare system.

TI-Nepal is implementing the Open Contracting for Health (OC4H) project in Nepal in partnership with the Transparency International Health Initiative (TI-HI), the initiator of the multi-country project.

The project's goal is to improve transparency in public procurement processes and data dissemination related to the health sector. It aims to achieve this by promoting open contracting standards, electronic public procurement systems and proactive disclosure of data. The project output is expected to reduce corruption and promote transparency, integrity and accountability within the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors.

The work focused on engaging with regulators for a general review of the legislation governing medications. The goal was to influence stronger compliance around clinical trial registers, lodging and reporting. Working with partners (TranspaiMED and Mesh Down Under), the work sought to encourage the New Zealand Government to subscribe to the World Health Organisation joint statement on public disclosure of results from clinical trials.

The overall objective of BIBEC is to concentrate on building and strengthening a series of mutually supportive and reinforcing integrity blocks to effectively reduce corruption. “Blocks” hereby mean the key institutions, i.e., policy/law, education, training, ethics and values, and above all, the citizens of the country.

The aim was to raise public awareness for the impact of sub-standard and falsified medicines (SFM) on patients' health and to advocate for law enforcement operations to promote the seizure of SFM.

The aim of the CaPSAI project is two-fold:
- Describe and examine how social accountability processes are implemented and operationalized with a focus on understanding behaviours, decision-making processes, and the barriers and enablers of change, with a view to generalizability;
- Develop more responsive quantitative measures for social accountability and show the relationship between social accountability and uptake of contraceptives and use of other family planning measures.
