Transparency International—a global corruption watchdog

This organization monitors corruption in both public and private sectors. It fights against bribery in the construction and defence industries, as well as underhanded tactics in political party funding. Corruption in the judiciary of various countries is a target for this group. They offer a “corruption fighter’s toolkit” and an “anti-corruption handbook” for those who wish to participate in the anti-corruption process. Teachers may wish to take a look at these two publications: Teaching Integrity to Youth and Stealing the Future: Corruption in the Classroom.
