An integral strategy in USAID - US Agency for International Development's Countering Transnational Corruption Grand Challenge for Development is a series of "hackathons" that bring together changemakers who together in teams work toward building innovative solutions that address transnational corruption challenges.

The second event in the series is being held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia over the next three days, with an expected 75 changemakers from Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand participating including technologists, civil society professionals, activists, and students, as well as others with diverse backgrounds and skillsets.

Seven winning teams with the most promising ideas will receive additional financial support, mentorship, and ongoing training to help them build out their ideas. They will also participate in a 3-day intensive in-person boot camp in Malaysia in April.
