- Value [1] Transparency
- Striving to ensure more transparent and accountable government for all citizens, regardless of state, region, or country,
is at the crux of everything we do.
- Value [2] Accountability
- Value [3] Data
- There are individuals and groups in every country - across the civic, public, and private sectors - working towards transparency
reforms. Quite often, these groups lack common data and standards, collaboration tools, and the ability to share their information
- even in the same country. Giving those groups common tools, shared research methods, and access to their colleagues propels
them more quickly towards advances in transparency and accountability.
- Value [4] Standards
- Value [5] Testing
- We believe that there is not enough willingness to test, fail, and learn in the transparency community. And we seek to fill
that void.
- Value [6] Failure
- Value [7] Learning
- We prioritize learning and innovation, and so we take on new approaches in our field simply to test, learn, and improve.
- Value [8] Innovation
- Value [9] Improvement
- Value [10] Evidence
- Starting with evidence. -- Dialogue discussions start with an analysis of the latest Global Integrity assessment for the country,
which provides a dense, unpackable snapshot of the current state of anti-corruption efforts and allows for context-building
regional & international comparisons. This reporting, locally researched and transparently peer-reviewed, provides a common
starting point for our discussion of next steps. Whenever possible, Global Integrity's local research team is present to deepen
the understanding of the assessment results.
- Value [11] Dialogue
- Value [12] Discussion
- Discussion, not advocacy. -- Global Integrity's role in this discussion is not to provide answers or recommendations. Instead,
we bring a process of structured reflection and an evidence-based dialogue that enables local stakeholders to identify areas
for improvement and establish their own priorities for reform. Participants of previous Dialogue events have included key
members of parliament, ministerial-level officials from government, civil society advocates, journalists, local religious
leaders, researchers, and foreign donors.
- Value [13] Follow-Up
- Follow-up and next steps. -- Through breakout groups and a structured agenda, participants in the workshops work together
to identify realistic next steps for implementing governance reforms. The results of those conversations and debates are collected
into a consensus Conclusions and Recommendations document which is published following the end of the Dialogue. This document
is grounded in the diverse experiences of the workshop participants and can be a powerful validator for change-agents pushing
forward anti-corruption reforms.
- Value [14] Honesty
- Why we come to work -- We believe that accountable, transparent, and honest government is a fundamental right of every citizen.
- Value [15] Good Governance
- Good governance provides the basis for efficient markets and effective government service delivery; it also plays a powerful
role in reaffirming citizens' belief in democracy as a just means of organizing public life. We seek a public sector that
is responsive and accountable rather than predatory, capable of promoting economic growth through citizen empowerment while
simultaneously addressing complex public policy challenges.
- Value [16] Efficient Markets
- Value [17] Effective Government
- Value [18] Democracy
- Value [19] Reform
- We are inspired by reformers - whether in government, civil society, or the private sector - who work towards the same ideals.
Our approach is to collaborate with them whenever possible.
- Value [20] Collaboration
