On January 10, 2007 Global Integrity released the 2006 Global Integrity Report, a collection of in-country assessments of governance, anti-corruption, and openness for 43 countries around the world. Among the main findings of the Report were the relative weakness of national legislatures to check abuses of power; the growing problem of corruption associated with political financing; and the continued lack of whistleblower protections and effective access to information laws in many countries. Please read our 2006 Country Reports for more detail. Global Integrity's unique indicator-based methodology – the Integrity Indicators – provides the underpinning for our core reporting and analysis of governance and corruption trends. The Integrity Indicators are based on a simple yet revolutionary concept. Rather than trying to measure actual corruption, considered virtually impossible by experts, Global Integrity quantitatively measures the opposite of corruption, that is, the existence of anti-corruption mechanisms and practices in place, the extent to which those mechanisms are effectively implemented, and citizens' ability to both access and make use of those mechanisms to promote greater accountability.
