TI's mission is to work to create change towards a world free of
corruption.
Fighting corruption:
TI's core values guide its work:
- Transparency
- Accountability
- Integrity
- Solidarity
- Courage
- Justice
- Democracy
TI's approach:
TI fights corruption at its roots as well as its symptoms. TI pursues
its systemic approach based on National and International Integrity
Systems. This approach can be visualised using the conceptual framework
of the Integrity Wheel (see below).
A key element of TI's work at the national and international level
is the analysis and diagnosis of corruption, for example by measuring
its occurrence through surveys and indices and by other research.
TI does not undertake investigations of alleged corruption, or
expose individual cases, but at times it will work in coalition
with organisations that do. TI is politically non-partisan.
TI combines the local-rootedness of the National Chapters, which
are the cutting edge of the TI Movement around the world, with international
expertise. TI accesses expertise from National Chapters, the Advisory
Council, the International Secretariat, volunteer specialists and
other sources in order to maximise impact.
TI develops coalitions with actors from all sectors of society
genuinely seeking change. It works with high-profile individuals
and decision-makers, NGOs, think-tanks and other institutions. It
also seeks to influence the prevailing popular mood and if necessary
at building broad public pressure in order to stimulate demand for
reform.
TI's Strategy:
Over most of 2003, Transparency International Secretariat coordinated
a Strategic Planning Exercise in which input and feedback from the
TI Movement were invited at all stages.
As a result of this exercise, the Board of Directors approved at
end of 2003 the Strategic Framework for the TI Movement which outlines
TI's strategy for the next three to five years. |
