Transparency International 2008 Integrity Awards


Introduced in 2000, the Transparency International Integrity Awards aim to recognise a particular action or initiative undertaken by one or several individuals or organisations in a manner that deserves credit and constitutes a tangible contribution to the promotion of the goals of the TI movement. While recipients of the Awards would be expected to be of exemplary character, the Awards will recognise a particular action or initiative and are not made for reasons of demonstrated good character.

The TI Integrity Awards may be conferred to a person (or an organisation) discharging official duties as well as to an activist (or activists) from all walks of life. The Awards Committee will usually choose up to three award recipients per year. In making these awards, the Committee will take into consideration the need to recognise efforts in diverse fields of civil society, the private sector and government and to recognise the initiatives taking place throughout the world. The Award consists of a trophy.
