Description:

The Corruption Fighters' Toolkit has been developed by Transparency International (TI) to facilitate the sharing of experiences of TI’s national chapter programmes, best practices and lessons learnt, with others active in the field. It is hoped that the widely tested methodologies and components included in the Toolkit will have extensive application value for those whose mission is the eradication of corruption at all levels.

Civil society has enormous potential to create mechanisms for scrutiny and social control, to demand and promote action for accountable and responsive public administration. The Corruption Fighters' Toolkit is an effort to highlight this potential, and provides ideas and inspiration for those within and outside the TI movement.

The Corruption Fighters' Toolkit presents a range of anti-corruption activities in an accessible format. The breadth and scope of the tools included in the Toolkit allow potential readers of the Toolkit to determine which tools are best suited to their local environments. The cases draw attention to the importance of collaboration with the public and private sectors and, above all, the need for coalition building within civil society. Those who want only the briefest overview of a tool need only look at the Fact Sheets for a concise summary of the more detailed information.

The Toolkit is a new initiative, at this stage primarily sharing experiences from "within TI". In time, it might also be used to disseminate the experiences of other civil society organizations, and to generate much needed civil society synergies. The Toolkit should be considered as work in progress, and as a living document. The Toolkit on the TI web page is being continually expanded to include more tools.
