 Transparency International
Contact: Karen Hussmann
TI is a non-governmental organization
dedicated to increasing government accountability
and curbing both international and national corruption.
Agenda:
• Combating corruption is only possible with the involvement of all the
stakeholders which include the state, civil society and the private
sector;
• Through the National Chapters TI brings together people of integrity in civil
society, business and government to work as coalitions for systemic reforms.
As it is outlined in the Mission Statement, they do not "name names" or
attack individuals, but focus on building systems that combat corruption;
• TI plays an important role in raising public awareness and the Corruption
Perceptions Index has triggered meaningful reform in many countries;
• Building National Integrity Systems
• Holistic view of National Integrity Systems. Simply strengthening prosecution
and judicial powers cannot by itself curtail corruption. The National Integrity
Source Book provides a framework. A standard reference point for reformers,
it describes practical steps that can be taken in each sector of society and
contains
a vast best practice documentation;
• Building an International Framework
• Corruption often transcends the national level. This is increasingly acknowledged
by key international actors. Working closely with a growing number of international
organizations now starting to address the issue, TI plays a catalytic role
in defining and implementing the international agenda against corruption.
