The Global Integrity Index assesses the existence and effectiveness of anti-corruption mechanisms that promote public integrity. More than 290 discrete Integrity Indicators generate the Integrity Index and are organized into six key categories and twenty three sub-categories. Prepared by a lead researcher in the country and then blindly reviewed by additional in-country and external experts, the Integrity Indicators not only assess the existence of laws, regulations, and institutions designed to curb corruption but also their implementation, as well as the access that average citizens have to those mechanisms.
Global Integrity has published all 12,000 Integrity Indicator scores that inform this index (along with researcher commentary, references, and critical peer review perspectives). These are available on each country's Integrity Indicators Scorecard, part of each Global Integrity Country Report.
