The Global Integrity Index is an entry point for understanding the relative strengths and weaknesses of key anti-corruption mechanisms across countries. The index assesses integrity, not corruption — it measures the actions being taken to fight corruption, not the extent of the problem itself.
The Index scores below are a summary of tens of thousands of locally generated and peer-reviewed indicators that make up the countries' Integrity Indicators scorecards (see all). We believe the country scores in this index are valid for careful cross-country and year-to-year comparisons (but please review our caveats and methodology). That said, we recommend the Index be used simply as a starting place for asking more specific, action-oriented questions that point the way towards incremental reforms not as a final "diagnosis" of a country's corruption-related challenges. You'll find those "actionable indicators" — in the country reports themselves.
