About us:

TI-G strives to create a Georgia that is free of corruption. We do this by challenging the concept that corruption is inevitable. We fight to raise awareness about the negative effects of corruption, to reduce tolerance towards corrupt practices, and we devise practical actions to address it. We do this by bringing together relevant players from government, civil society, business and the media to promote transparency in elections, in public administration, in procurement and in business. We also use advocacy campaigns to lobby governments to implement anti-corruption reforms.
