Transparency International

Transparency International (TI) is a global civil society network with over 100 national chapters that champion transparency and accountability.

With a global network of over 100 national chapters, Transparency International advocates for agreement on stronger good governance standards at the international level and promotes the adoption and implementation of those standards at the national level. Seizing upon the momentum generated by the Open Government Partnership, and taking advantage of their global presence, Transparency International will strengthen civil society participation in crafting robust Open Government Partnership country commitments and in monitoring the achievement of those commitments. With assistance from the its secretariat, Transparency International’s national chapters will develop score cards to assess progress toward open governance best practice.

With a global network of over 100 national chapters, Transparency International researches and advocates for good governance standards and practices at the international level and promotes the adoption and implementation of those standards at the national level.
