Transparency Mauritius has amended its constitution to allow for corporate membership levels in order to increase funding sources. It now has three membership types: individual active members, gold corporate members who pay an annual fee of MUR 50,000, and platinum corporate members who pay MUR 100,000 annually. Corporate members will receive branding benefits but not voting rights. The changes aim to give Transparency Mauritius more financial support to implement its strategic plan to make Mauritius corruption-free by 2015 through expanded anti-corruption initiatives, training, and partnerships.

the organisation as it needs to position
itself as a reference organisation to assist and
win the fight against growing corruption aim-
ing at ‘Making Mauritius Corruption Free’. This
strategy 2015 sets out the strategic operating and
financial milestones that TM has to cross to en-
able it attain its envisioned future.
A SWOT analysis has revealed the current
precarious situation prevailing internally and a
pre-established Capacity Assessment Tool (CAT)

1. Executive summary
The constitution ofTransparency Mauritius has been amended to toe the Companies Act of 2001;
The new Constitution opens the membership to two levels of corporate members, which would
allow the organisation to go around the limitations of CSR funding;
Transparency Mauritius has its own vision and mission which are aligned on that of Transpar-
ency International;
Transparency Mauritius will develop a broad network both nationally and internationally to en-
sure efficiency in the fight against corruption;
The organisation is now project-based and has a pro-active approach in its strategy;
Transparency Mauritius would provide the private sector with paid services and would be regis-
tered as an MQA approved training institution as well.
Transparency Mauritius will work closely with the authorities as well as with the private sector to
bring systemic change in the Mauritian society
The ultimate aim of the organisation is to make Mauritius a corruption free country.
attractive opportunities identified during the
exercise. New mission, vision and core ideol-
ogy have been drafted and information gathered
have helped to pave a three years action plan.
Cash flow will turn positive only if the rigor-
ous actions set are realised and no doubt, a relia-
ble funding back up is badly needed at this hour.
To overcome the weaknesses through ‘Retrench-
ment’ strategy is the best option and to maximize
strengths the adoption of‘Product Service Devel-
opment’ Strategy which will push the potential
return on investment to a significant surplus.
To successfully implement the plan of set
strategic actions, an envelope to the tune of MUR
2.5 million would be required.
Transparency Mauritius (TM) was set up in 1994 and incorporated in 1998 as an
independent, non-political and non-partisan corporate body to promote integrity
in business ethics through public awareness and general education. It has so far
sensitised around 50 % of the Mauritian constituencies’ accountability.
AND TO BETTER RESPOND TO MODERN CHALLENGES AND THE ENDLESSLY CHANGING INNO-
VATIONS OF THE PERPETRATORS OF CORRUPTION AS WELL AS TO OVERTURN THE SLOW IN-
COMING OF FUNDS, MAJOR CHANGES HAVE BEEN SET OUT:

ruption and its denunciation and enlarge
