What
is Transparency International * TI
Transparency International, the global coalition against corruption, is a non-profit, politically non-partisan, non-governmental organization dedicated to increasing government accountability and curbing both international and national corruption. TI-Philippine Chapter is one of the over 120 National Chapters of Transparency International with Main Office in Berlin (Germany). TI publishes yearly the Corruption Index
(CPI) of most countries.
Starting
2004, December 9 has been officially declared
by the United Nations as the U.N. International
Day against Corruption. TI Chapters across all continents will be
recognizing the achievements made to date in the
fight against corruption as well as the challenges
that remain. A priority for all National Chapters
is encouraging their governments to ratify the
Convention through open letters and public
demonstrations.

United Nations MDG: Millennium
Development Goals
In
September 2000, leaders from 189 nations agreed on a
vision for the future: a world with less poverty, hunger
and disease, greater survival prospects for mothers and
their infants, better educated children, equal
opportunities for women, and a healthier environment; a
world in which developed and developing countries worked
in partnership for the betterment of all. This vision
took the shape of 8 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
which provide a framework of time-bound targets by which
progress can be measured. Access the UN
Indicators or the Millennium
