About us
Transparency International UK (TI-UK) is the country’s leading anti-corruption non-governmental organisation, and is part of a global coalition sharing one vision: a world in which government, business, civil society and the daily lives of people are free of corruption.

Since 1995, Transparency International UK has played a leading role in tackling corruption in the UK, Britain’s role in corruption overseas, and corruption in global sectors critical to international security and development. We achieve this through impartial research, the design of new standards and solutions and the education of decision makers.  We drive change through formal, constructive advocacy and by providing support and expertise to others aligned to our cause.

Further details of our work can be found on our website.

In partnership with other chapters across the movement, and the Transparency International Secretariat (TI-S) in Berlin, we operate a number of global programmes intended to secure reforms to prevent and tackle corruption in key sectors. These Global Thematic Network Initiatives (GTNIs) are shaped by their innovative approaches and ambition to have a global impact in a defined thematic area and whilst they operate within a TI Chapter, they have sectoral autonomy regarding policy activities and advocacy.  Our Defence and Security GTNI works to ensure defence and security institutions are accountable to their citizens and subject to civilian oversight, and that corruption risks are reduced. Our Global Health GTNI seeks to ensure effective, accountable and transparent health systems which reduce room for corruption and increase progress to Universal Health Coverage.

In addition, we have a range of bilateral partnerships with chapters in Low and Middle Income countries to support them to hold governments to account on established Global Standards in the prevention of corruption; from ensuring effective whistle-blower protections to the roll out of national anti-corruption action plans.

We recently launched our new strategy for 2021-2030, Stopping Corruption – Promoting Integrity, which will challenge us to deepen the impact of the global work for which we are responsible; pushing harder for meaningful reforms, developing powerful partnerships and securing the resources to ensure the broadest possible impact for our programmes.
