South Korea has implemented an Integrity Pact in public procurement in the city of Seoul starting in 2000. The use of IPs expanded to other municipalities and a version of an IP was developed to apply to the contracts of the Ministry of Defense starting in 2002. As the use of the IPs expanded, the form of the IPs also changed – with some IPs not resulting in the oversight of external monitors. According to the 2015 Learning Review, the South Korean Contract Act of 2012 was amended to include provisions for the IP. Further details, however, are not yet available.

TI-Pakistan served as the civil society monitor to oversee procurement related to the Greater Karachi Water Supply Scheme (K-III Project) in 2001. The IP has been credited in this project with contributing to greater transparency, corruption prevention, and significant cost savings and value for money for this large infrastructure procurement. This success resulted in Pakistan's procurement rules requiring IPs in all public tenders above PKR 100 million.

The first Integrity Pact implemented in Pakistan was applied to procurement of the K-III Greater Karachi Water Supply Scheme Project in 2001 by the Karachi Water & Sewerage Board with TI-Pakistan as civil society monitor. This experience demonstrated how the IP contributed to greater transparency, corruption prevention, and cost savings for the procurement process.

In 1999, municipal leaders of Bhaktapur – Nepal's ancient "City of Culture – developed an Integrity Pact with TI-Nepal that it called an “integrity system” by which municipal officials and bidders to municipal tenders would sign on to integrity and anti-corruption commitments. TI-Nepal served as the civil society monitor to this arrangement. In 2002, the local elected bodies were dissolved which ruptured the municipality’s commitment to the IP.

TI-Nepal served as civil society monitor for an Integrity Pact established with the Bhaktapur municipality from 1999 to 2002. In 2015, TI-Nepal published a report on ongoing corruption in Nepal’s public procurement. It has recommended the use of IPs as an important tool for promoting oversight of public procurement and breaking the cycle of corruption in this sector.

The Government of Malaysia introduced a guideline for Integrity Pact implementation in public procurements in 2010. This has been promoted by the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission since then.

TI-Indonesia and the Solok District in West Sumatra signed an Integrity Pact in 2003 to establish integrity and anti-corruption commitments for all public procurement in the District. TI-Indonesia served as civil society monitor for the IP. A study it conducted one year after the implementation of the Solok District IP demonstrated the effectiveness of the IP in reducing bribery in public procurement during the year.

TI-Indonesia first promoted the use of Integrity Pacts to promote integrity and fight corruption in public procurement in 2002. The first IP was implemented by the Solok Regency in West Sumatra. TI-Indonesia analysed this experience and noted several elements positive impact of the IP in public procurement in this region.
