The Global Integrity Index assesses national anti-corruption policies and practices in countries around the world.
This peer-reviewed country report includes:
Integrity Indicators Scorecard: Scores, scoring criteria, commentary, references, and peer review perspectives for all 290 Integrity Indicators.
Reporter's Notebook: An on-the-ground look at corruption and integrity from a leading local journalist.
Corruption Timeline: Ten years of political context to today's corruption and integrity issues.
Country Facts: Statistical context for each country.
Global Integrity country reports are generated by an in-country team comprising a lead journalist (who prepares the Reporter's Notebook), a lead researcher (who initially scores the Integrity Indicators), and three to five peer reviewers. Global Integrity staff in Washington coordinate the input from all team members and are responsible for final content.
