SCOPE
The Global Anti-Corruption Pledge Tracker focuses on commitments made by over 20 governments, across six themes:
- Asset Recovery
- Beneficial Ownership
- Law Enforcement
- Open Data
- Public Procurement
- Whistleblower and Civil Society Space Protection
METHODOLOGY
Working with colleagues in TI chapters in over 20 countries, we followed this methodology:
- Took time to UNDERSTAND what the government’s commitments are referring to;
- DECIDED how to measure progress for each commitment;
- REMOVED any commitments which were deemed too vague to track;
- IDENTIFIED the government department responsible for delivering on each commitment;
- INFORMED the responsible department that their progress will be monitored;
- If possible, RECORDED an expected timeline for delivering each commitment;
- INVITED government to share evidence of their progress;
- RESEARCHED evidence of progress on each commitment if government has not provided evidence;
- CATEGORISED each commitment as one of the following options below, according to the definitions provided;
- INPUTTED the evidence and categorisation
COMPLETE | This commitment has an end date and there is evidence that it has been completed |
ONGOING | This commitment has no defined end date and there is evidence that activity has started |
UNDERWAY | This commitment has an end date and there is evidence that activity has started |
NO DATA | There is no data on how this commitment is progressing |
INACTIVE | There is evidence that no activity has taken place on this commitment |
OVERDUE | There is evidence that this commitment has gone past the deadline* |
DROPPED | There is evidence that this commitment has been dropped by the government |
*The original deadline given. If no deadline given at the Summit, the first deadline offered by the government should be the one followed.
