What is TI? Transparency International (TI), founded in 1993, is the global civil society organisation leading the fight against corruption. Through more than 100 national chapters worldwide and an international secretariat in Berlin, Germany, TI raises awareness of the damaging effects of corruption and works with partners in government, business and civil society to develop and implement effective measures to tackle it. Vision A world in which government, politics, business, civil society and the daily lives of people are free of corruption. Goals and Objectives Increase knowledge production of corruption issues to diagnose and reduce corruption risks, and improve transparency, integrity and accountability; Promote anti-corruption norms and principles through encouraging public and private institutions to commit to anti-corruption best practices; Enhance communication and knowledge sharing; Cultivate strategic partnerships to link anti-corruption to emerging issues in the development, environmental and security agendas; Reach a broader base of citizens by exploring new avenues to engage with new public audiences; Monitor global trends to maximise our effectiveness and maintain focus on reducing corruption around the world. Guiding Principles Being independent and politically non-partisan Promoting institutional reforms, not investigating individual cases Criticizing constructively Engaging with government, business and other stakeholders Building anti-corruption coalitions Combining research, advocacy and providing solutions Accepting funding which does not compromise our objectivity How does TI operate? TI has created a wealth of resources and tools used worldwide in anti-corruption work. TI continuously develops and refines these tools including the Corruption Perception Index (CPI), the Bribe Payer Index (BPI), and the Global Corruption Barometer. It also conducts studies such as the TI National Integrity Systems assessment which is used by numerous governmental and non-governmental institutions around the world. Governments in many countries have also adopted the Integrity Pact, a tool to reduce bribery and corruption in public contracting processes. Based on these tools, TI raises awareness about corruption, monitors corruption trends, and advocates for change and reform.
