ALAC Overview

Corruption Advocacy and Legal Advice Centre

ALAC helps citizens turn corruption concerns into clear, actionable reports.

The Advocacy and Legal Advice Centre is TI-Zambia's citizen support channel for people who need free guidance on corruption, maladministration, abuse of office, bribery, service-delivery failures, land concerns, and related accountability issues. ALAC receives complaints, helps citizens organise the facts, gives practical legal advice, refers suitable matters to mandated authorities, and follows up so reports do not disappear into silence.

What ALAC does

From complaint to accountability pathway

ALAC listens to citizens, records the substance of each concern, checks whether the matter appears to involve corruption or maladministration, and advises the complainant on possible next steps. Where a case needs formal investigation, ALAC can refer it to bodies such as law-enforcement agencies, local authorities, oversight institutions, or other competent public offices, then track progress and use recurring patterns for evidence-based advocacy.

1 Receive Complaint, evidence, and contact details are captured clearly, with follow-up for deeper review.
2 Assess The issue is reviewed for corruption, maladministration, referral, or advice needs.
3 Advise Citizens receive practical guidance on rights, options, and records to keep.
4 Refer Appropriate cases are directed to institutions with a legal mandate to act.
5 Follow up Case movement and repeated trends inform advocacy and public accountability.
