PERFORMANCE OF TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL IN COMBATING CORRUPTION: WHAT EFFECTIVENESS?
Main Article Content
Abstract
Corruption is a serious societal phenomenon that has prompted numerous national and international efforts to combat it. Internationally, Transparency International has emerged as a coalition dedicated to fighting corruption. This organization has made extensive efforts to devise effective strategies against corruption, utilizing various mechanisms, particularly through the development of corruption perception indices, their interpretation, and the preparation of international reports on the state of corruption and its mitigation efforts.
However, Transparency International's efforts have not proven sufficient or effective in addressing the escalating problem of corruption, despite ongoing and earnest endeavors. This necessitates a critical review of its strategies, whether through diversification or adaptation, to enhance its effectiveness in combating corruption.
