What
is Transparency
|
|
|
Transparency, the global coalition against corruption, is a non-profit, politically non-partisan, non-governmental organization dedicated to increasing government accountability and curbing both international and national corruption. TI-Philippine Chapter is one of the over
90 National Chapters of Transparency International with Main Office in Berlin (Germany). TI publishes yearly the Corruption Index
(CPI) of most countries.

Corruption
is the abuse of entrusted power for
private gain. |
|
» |
Corruption
hurts everyone whose life, livelihood or
happiness depends on the integrity of
people in a position of authority. |

TI sustains that if 10% of the estimated US$866 billion generated worldwide in Oil revenues in 2006 was set aside, it would have been enough to cover the total cost of meeting the United Nations' MDGs (Millennium Development Goals). The cost of meeting the set of development standards on education, health, literacy and poverty was estimated at only US$73 billion in 2006. |

by the United Nations as the U.N. International
Day against Corruption. TI Chapters across all continents will be
recognizing the achievements made to date in the
fight against corruption as well as the challenges
that remain. A priority for all National Chapters

Corruption
Hurts Everyone! |
|
| Corruption
is both a cause of poverty and a barrier to overcoming
it. It is one of the most serious obstacles to reducing
poverty. |
| Corruption
has dire global consequences, trapping millions in
poverty and misery and breeding social, economic and
political unrest. |
| Corruption
denies poor people the basic means of survival, forcing
them to spend more of their income on bribes. Human
rights are denied where corruption is rife, because a
fair trial comes with a hefty price tag where courts are
corrupted. |
| Corruption
undermines democracy and the rule of law. |
| Corruption
distorts national and international trade. |
| Corruption
jeopardises sound governance and ethics in the private
sector. |
| Corruption
threatens domestic and international security and the
sustainability of natural resources. |
| Those
with less power are particularly disadvantaged in
corrupt systems, which typically reinforce gender
discrimination. |
| Corruption
compounds political exclusion: if votes can be bought,
there is little incentive to change the system that
sustains poverty. |

|
» |

development and leads to increasing
levels ublishghts abuse. |
|
» |
Democratic:
Corruption undermines
democracies and in
particular the achievements of many
developing countries and countries in
transition. |
|
» |
Ethical:
Corruption undermines a society's
integrity. |
|
» |
Practical:
Corruption distorts the operations of
markets and deprives ordinary people of
the benefits which should flow from
them. |
|
|
|
|
»
|
| Politically
non-partisan, TI does not undertake investigations of
alleged corruption or expose individual cases, but at
times will work in coalition with organisations that do. |
| TI
has the skills, tools, experience, expertise and broad
participation to fight corruption on the ground, as well
as through global and regional initiatives. |
|
Now
in its second decade, Transparency International is
maturing, intensifying and diversifying its fight
against corruption. |

United Nations MDG: Millennium
Development Goals |
|
| In
September 2000, leaders from 189 nations agreed on a
vision for the future: a world with less poverty, hunger
and disease, greater survival prospects for mothers and
their infants, better educated children, equal
opportunities for women, and a healthier environment; a
world in which developed and developing countries worked
in partnership for the betterment of all. This vision
took the shape of 8 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
which provide a framework of time-bound targets by which
progress can be measured. Access the UN
Indicators or the Millennium
Project! |
