Transparency International and Amnesty International – description and comparative analysis

Part of Transparency International’s work is to develop and promote practical tools that reduce the opportunities for corruption and enhance the ability of people and organizations to resist it.

It works with experts from companies, universities and other NGOs to create tools suited to a range of situations in many sectors of society.

Tools:

• Manuals and toolkits for monitoring public procurement processes,

• concrete guidance for companies on avoiding extortion and curtailing bribery,

• reliable diagnostics for measuring and mapping corruption

These tools give individuals and institutions creative solutions to some of the most common challenges in countering corruption.

Examples:

• Private sector tools include the Business Principles for Countering Bribery

• Public sector tools include Integrity Pacts

• Tools for corruption researchers include GATEway

• Tools for activists, educators and other members of civil society include the Corruption Fighters' Toolkits
