TI believes that to increase transparency, accountability, and integrity at all levels of government, we must first understand corruption it its many forms. Our organization takes positions based on sound, objective analysis and high-quality research.
Two of our tools, the Corruption Perceptions Index and Global Corruption Barometer, are consistently used by academics, journalists, and economists the world over.
The Corruption Perceptions Index has been widely credited with putting the issue of corruption on the international policy agenda. The Global Corruption Barometer is the world’s largest survey asking citizens about their direct personal experiences of corruption in their daily lives.
Our national chapters also conduct cutting-edge research into the ways in which corruption operates in their countries and affects the daily lives of their residents.
Empowered by evidence coming from whistleblowers, victims and witnesses, investigative journalism, and other research, TI collaborates with key allies to push for more accountable government, call out the corrupt, stop the enabling factors of cross-border corruption, and bring an end to impunity.

No country can ignore its reputation for corruption. That means no country can ignore Transparency International”
