Transparency International is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation dedicated to fighting corruption.

TI movement vision: a world in which government, business, civil society and the daily lives of people are free of corruption.

In 1993, a few individuals decided to take a stance against corruption and created Transparency International. Now present in more than 100 countries, the movement works relentlessly to stir the world’s collective conscience and bring about change. Much remains to be done to stop corruption, but much has also been achieved, including:

  • the creation of international anti-corruption conventions
  • the prosecution of corrupt leaders and seizures of their illicitly gained riches
  • companies held accountable for their behaviour both at home and abroad.

Through more than 100 national chapters worldwide and an international secretariat in Berlin, Transparency International works with partners in government, business and civil society to put effective measures in place to tackle corruption.

Transparency International is politically non-partisan and places great importance on its independence. It alone determines its programmes and activities – no donor has any input intoTransparency International’s policies. Its sources of funding are made transparent as is its spending.
