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.
