Illegal constructions
More info More people can file Free of Information requests and report illegal constructions. Moreover, the procedure for filing FOI requests and reporting illegal construction would be shorter and easier, and therefore could be used by any person with a mobile phone.
NGO Accountability
More info Slovak NGOs receive more than € 50 million a year without effective oversight allowing for mismanagement and fraud. To address the issue, we propose collecting, parsing and publishing their spending data as well as analysing transparency of the major recipients to create a more accountable non-profit sector.
Tools for Youth
More info Youth comprise 26% of the Sri Lankan population and is a powerful force of positive change. Their opinion and stance will determine the future course of the anti-corruption fight in Sri Lanka. However, at present they do not have a platform to report and discuss their experiences of corruption.
Climate management
More info The management of Climate Finance, forests and other natural resources in Kenya have been plagued with a lack of transparency and accountability. This has been due to a lack of access to information, poor knowledge management, and the inadequate capacity to process information.
Illegal logging
More info TI Malaysia recently created a website (timalaysia-forestwatch.org.my) which is used by the public to report possible illegal activities happening in forested areas around the country. It would be good to incorporate a Map of Malaysia on the website and mark the areas that have been reported.
Youth Community
More info Based on a 2012 study by TI Hungary young people (between 15-29) don't feel they have the tools, equipment or knowledge they can use against corruption. Given corruption is a large problem for Hungary, we want to develop tools to help educate and provide our youth the concrete support they need to build a transparent future.
Smart integrity learning
More info We suggest developing integrity learning opportunities that use online, smartphone, and other Internet applications to facilitate corruption whistleblowing and reporting while providing suggestions that promote integrity and give counselling which aid solutions.
Analysing MPs' assets
More info We would like to create an application that will help to analyse assets and income declarations (IAD) published by Russian officials under the anti-corruption law. There is already declarator.org, a data base, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done in this area. It can be helpful to create parsing codes for some common declaration formats.
Corruption in health care
More info The health sector in Vietnam and many other countries, including some European countries, suffers from a multitude of interlinked problems, including overcrowded health facilities, inadequate salaries and incentive structures, pervasive envelope payments, and limited transparency for consumers. This online portal aims to increase transparency for patients to make more informed choices, thereby increasing accountability of public and private service providers.
Parliament transparency
More info The “revolving door” phenomenon and practiced conflicts of interests are some of the major problems in Portuguese politics. These two interlinked phenomenons undermine democratic legitimacy. In order to appropriately survey and monitor the behavior of elected representatives, we propose a new tool based on crowd-sourcing principles.
Monitoring the courts
More info This initiative aims to give the public better access to information to their local Hungarian judicial process.It will reduce corruption risks in judicial institutions, as well as increase public trust and engagement in monitoring juducial processes.
Open Contracts
More info Open data movement pushes for automatic online contract publishing, but if crowdsourcing contracts monitoring is to be successful, appropriate platforms are needed. TI Slovakia developed a leading solution that requires additional resources for features development, project internationalization, more data, and community engagement.
Cost of corruption
More info Corruption has a direct negative impact on the savings of an individual, profits of a company and a country’s budget. However this impact is often overlooked as citizens are unable to calculate and comprehend the cost of corruption. Quantifying the cost of corruption would motivate citizens to fight against corruption.
Monitoring climate funds
More info Proética found that a lack of order in the management of climate funds is a risk that could encourage corruption in projects aimed at combating climate change. Peru is a country highly vulnerable to this threat, therefore ensuring optimal monitoring of these funds is essential.
Joining Forces
More info While both ALAC and Mamdawrinch serve different purposes, both projects have databases that are used for data mining and analysis, moreover, there is a growing need of exchanging data between the two databases (cases of Mamdawrinch redirected to CAJAC, or showcases of CAJAC published in Mamdawrinch). Hence, having a simple connection between the two databases becomes useful.
Monitoring the parliament
More info Studies have shown that the political memory of the public can be brief and the political scandals of the past fast forgotten. We would like to create a parliament monitoring website that compiles information on the decisions of MPs, their parties, and their overall work performance.
Reporting corruption
More info People are afraid to publicly stand up against corruption and there is limited space where they can do so. We therefore want to create an accessible online platform that will provide Cambodian citizens with the opportunity to fight against corruption and promote integrity.
Conditional cash transfer
More info Visualisation of corruption risk maps to evaluate social programs in Latin America: A need for a standard tool.
Anti Corruption Art
More info Social media and the Internet will be powerful tools to promote the project “Paroles Urgentes”, a contest on the use of art to fight against corruption.The contest itself and the art work of the participants are all excellent material to create a buzz on the fight against corruption.
On Corruption Verdicts
More info This index is designed to answer questions of how the public views corruption verdicts. It is a tool to measure the public perception of corruption verdict fairness nationally, as well as for a country to country comparison. It will enable us to improve the transparency and accountability of judicial institutions.
Electoral advertising
More info While Colombian citizens have access to information on election campaign finances reported via the 'Cuentas Claras' website, they can't compare real spending with official reports. A participatory platform allowing citizens to report on election advertising costs would therefore be a significant advancement in the transparency of electoral processes.
Women report harassment
More info Every day hundreds of women in Azerbaijan are victim to different types of harassment because of corruption, often being asked by men in positions of power to provide them with sexual bribes. But for the most part, their abusers remain unpunished. Moreover, women usually do not have a means of reporting incidents or are reluctant to do so due to the unique sensitivity of harassment issues in Azerbaijani society.
Impact of corruption
More info Corruption is an issue difficult for most people to relate to in tangible ways. Campaigns will be more effective if we can present data about the costs of corruption to enable citizens to see how it affects their lives in a direct way. Creating visualisation tools will better manage corruption information and share the knowledge with the general public in an interactive way.
Civic education
More info Civic education is concerned with the content of what citizens ought to know. Despite making up over 50% of the voting age in Fiji, young people are not formally educated on their civic rights and responsibilities.
Judicial transparency
More info The database represents an innovative way of easily accessing information that would otherwise be challenging to collect and categorize for the common citizen. It enhances a participatory citizenship and a free flow of reliable, up-to-date information on national corruption.
Key Corruption Terms
More info To develope a platform that translates short texts into their native language.
FOI requests
More info This is important because usually all the data we possess is either in hard copy, or in PDF format. When publishing this data, we must find a solution on how to make them more accessible and usable to citizens.
Complaints handling box
More info We propose developing a complaints handling solution that can be easily and rapidly deployed into institutions to allow them to receive complaints via SMS or online, ultimately allowing for greater responsiveness.
Is that Corruption?
More info Develop a game that allows people to familiarise themselves with what corruption is, and how it plays out in their everyday lives.
Visualising Corruption
More info The Global Corruption Barometer is a gold mine of data about people’s experience of corruption around the world. How can we engage people with this data to raise awareness of the harmful impact of corruption, to motivate people to take concrete action, and even to become an anti-corruption activist?
Corruption on the road
More info There has been an outcry over abuse of entrusted authority by traffic law enforcement agents across the country in which commuter omnibus operators accuse traffic police of demanding large sums of “bribes” which have negatively affected their daily takings. Citizens bear the burden of increased fares to commute into Harare.
Tracking ALAC Cases
More info ALAC Cases are often referred to institutions and officials like the Attorney General and the Supreme Electoral Tribunal. However, once there, cases stagnate. We would like to give people the possibility to check the status of their cases, and hold relevant institutions accountable via our suggested website platform.
Tracking Data
More info Data that can assist in tracking corruption is often not clean because of mistakes made when entered manually, low quality of an original source, or scanning non-digital documents. This requires an online platform that can import generic data sets to be editable, tagged, and also allow for tracking of all change history to preserve integrity.
Monitoring local councils
More info In Malaysia Local Councillors are not elected but appointed, resulting in a lack of accountability to their ratepayers. A system which allows ratepayers to report complaints and monitor their councillors’ responses and performance is required. This will further push the need for local council elections.
