Earlier this year, USAID's Countering Transnational Corruption Grand Challenge for Development partnered on the Southeast Asian regional #HackCorruption event led by Accountability Lab in Malaysia and Indonesia. Three of the winning teams - Integrity Eyes, Lexicon ID, and Carbonitor - focused their digital tools on addressing transnational corruption challenges. They've been hard at work building out their innovative solutions, addressing challenges and learning valuable lessons along the way. In the blog below, they reflect on their tools, the challenges they faced, and their long-term goals. We're excited to see how each innovation continues to progress!
