Transparency International Advocacy: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access anti-corruption advice and advocacy resources if you are facing corruption in business or government.
Transparency International Advocacy provides resources and support for people dealing with corruption in their professional or civic lives.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for individuals who are facing corruption in their daily lives. This includes people who encounter corrupt practices while conducting business or those who face corruption when dealing with government agencies and public officials. It is meant to support anyone who finds themselves caught in systems where unfair or illegal practices are occurring.
What you get
If you use these services, you can gain access to local advocacy centers. These centers are designed to provide guidance and anti-corruption advice to those who need it. The goal is to provide you with the information and support necessary to navigate difficult situations involving corruption, helping you understand your rights and the standards that should be in place.
What it costs you
Using these advocacy resources and accessing the advice provided by the centers is free of charge. There are no fees required to seek guidance or to connect with the advocacy network.
The catch to know
The most important thing to understand before reaching out is the specific nature of the support provided. While the organization offers valuable guidance and advice to help you navigate corrupt environments, they do not provide direct legal representation. This means they are not your lawyers and cannot act as your legal counsel in a courtroom or during formal legal proceedings.
