8. Organization
Transparency International consists of over
100 locally established, independent national
chapters as well as an international secretariat in
Berlin, Germany. Each chapter tackles corruption
in their respective country, constructing methods
relevant to their national context in order to bring
about change. The secretariat provides support
and cooperation among chapters, as well as
collaborating with these chapters in order to
approach corruption on a global and regional
scale.

9. CORRUPTION PERCEPTION INDEX
In 1995, Transparency International developed the Corruption
Perceptions Index (CPI). The CPI ranked nations on the prevalence
of corruption within each country, based upon surveys of business
people. The CPI was subsequently published annually. It was
criticized for poor methodology and unfair treatment of developing
nations, while also being praised for highlighting corruption and
embarrassing governments.
The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) ranks countries and
territories based on how corrupt their public sector is perceived to
be. It is a composite index – a combination of polls – drawing on
corruption-related data collected by a variety of reputable
institutions. The CPI reflects the views of observers from around the
world.
