CORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEX 13.
Transparency International is the global civil society organisation leading the fight against corruption. Through more than 90 chapters worldwide and an international secretariat in Berlin, we raise awareness of the damaging effects of corruption and work with partners in government, business and civil society to develop and implement effective measures to tackle it. CORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEX 13 From children denied an education, to elections decided by money not votes, public sector corruption comes in many forms. Bribes and backroom deals don t just steal resources from the most vulnerable they undermine justice and economic development, and destroy public trust in leaders. But while the results of corruption are clear, the real extent of the problem is harder to pin down. Corruption is shadowy and secretive by nature. We all know corruption is a problem, but how bad is it, and what can be done? This is where the Corruption Perceptions Index comes in. Based on expert opinion, the index measures the perceived levels of public sector corruption in countries worldwide, scoring them from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean). Covering 7 countries, the 13 index paints a worrying picture. While a handful perform well, not one single country gets a perfect score. More than two-thirds score less than. The need for greater accountability is clear, and leaders cannot look governments need to turn pledges into actions. All citizens deserve bribe-free services, and leaders that are answerable to the public, not to powerful friends. Working together, we can make this a reality. www.transparency.org ISBN: 97-3---6 13 Transparency International. All rights reserved. Printed on 100% recycled paper.
