Transparency International is an international non-governmental organization, leading anti-corruption movement all over the globe. Berlin based Transparency International Secretariat coordinates anti-corruption activities in more than 90 countries of the world through its national chapters. The chapters are independent local NGOs free to choose their own polices and raise funds for their activities. Transparency International is based on the principle that as corruption is a country specific phenomenon, local organizations can be much more efficient that any efforts taken or imposed from the outside. Transparency Azerbaijan was established in October 2000 by representatives of civil society and academia and fully accredited as a national chapter in October 2001. We work mainly in the areas of public awareness raising, business ethics and research into reasons and forms of corruption in Azerbaijan and ways to reduce this destructive social phenomenon.
