Transparency International Romania approach

In order to achieve the vision of an honest country, without corruption, we must allow Romanian citizens to take an attitude against corruption whenever they cheek with it and to educate people about the benefits they generate if they behave with integrity , both for themselves and for the society they belong to.

Vision

An honest country, without corruption

 

 

Mission

We will support people and institutions to promote integrity and to stop corruption in all its forms.

 

Objectives

Transparency International Romania has two major priorities: improving the reporting and sanctioning of corruption in Romania and changing attitudes among citizens in organisations, so that corruption becomes unacceptable in Romania.
