1. Identify a few parliamentarians in your country who are committed to fighting corruption and promoting good governance. Approximately 6-12 members should do. They should constitute themselves as an Interim Steering Committee (ISC) for the chapter.
2. Each ISC member should recruit a personal network of parliamentarians to bring the total to 30 or more. In this way, an informal network exists and the work of creating a chapter can be more broadly shared.
3. Identify an NGO that is willing to act as the secretariat. A respected multilateral organization can be particularly helpful in carrying out a national chapter’s program (Many national chapters have established a relationship with a Transparency International national chapter and have found it very successful).
4. The ISC then prepares a draft constitution. The APNAC Secretariat maintains a generic draft at the address below.
5. It is useful to have an initiating event, inviting broad participation of parliamentarians to formally create the organization, establish an interim Board of Directors, and discuss priorities.
6. At that event, the Interim Board of Directors should discuss incorporation, formal secretariat support, and a program of activities to address the anti-corruption priorities discussed.
7. Find funds to carry out initial activities, incorporate, and begin delivering results. In some cases , the APNAC Secretariat can advise on finding funding and other matters.
