To prevent corruption that perpetuates poverty and leads to unequal development.

Other Information:

Corruption in development continues to trap millions of people in poverty. TI will use its national integrity system framework to address the fundamental causes of corruption whose impact marginalises the interests of the poor. We will bring together and participate in coalitions that strengthen governance and increase accountability at the international, national, local and grassroots level. We will build on international standards set in international as well as regional conventions and further develop our ongoing work in certain sectors, such as education, water security and humanitarian assistance, as well as strengthen our key approaches, including risk-assessments, the monitoring of public expenditure, global initiatives (such as the MDGs) and advocacy for sector reforms to counter corruption. Special attention will be given to enhancing anti-corruption work in local government, as it relates to those services most critical for the poor.
