- 2. Transparency International is the global civil society organisation leading the fight against corruption. Through more than 90 chapters worldwide and an CORRUPTION 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. PERCEPTIONS INDEX 2012 Corruption can happen anywhere. When politicians put their own interests above those of the public. When officials demand money and favours from citizens for services that should be free. Corruption is not just an envelope filled with money though these people make decisions that affect our lives. We know corruption is a problem around the world. But how bad is it and what can be done? The Corruption Perceptions Index measures the perceived levels of public sector corruption in countries worldwide. Based on expert opinion, countries are scored from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean). Some countries score well, but no country scores a perfect 100. Two-thirds of the 176 countries ranked in the 2012 index score below 50, showing that public institutions need to be more transparent, and powerful officials more accountable. We must ensure that there are real consequences to corruption. No to impunity cannot just be a slogan it must be carried out with all our combined strength and inspire citizens to speak up and to no longer tolerate corruption. Huguette Labelle, Chair, Transparency International The Corruption Perceptions Index forces governments around the world to take notice of corruption their countrys score reflects on them. But recognising the problem is only the first step towards a solution. That is why we help citizens to demand accountability from their leaders. And we show www.transparency.org governments what they can do to tackle corruption. Together, we can make ISBN: 978-3-943497-29-8 corruption a thing of the past. 息 2012 Transparency International.
