Transparência Internacional Portugal

What Transparência Internacional Portugal does

Transparência Internacional Portugal (legally registered as Transparência e Integridade, Associação Cívica, pessoa coletiva number 509 569 242) is the Portuguese chapter of Transparency International, the world's largest civil society organization dedicated to combating corruption. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Lisbon, the organization operates as an independent non-profit association that does not receive any state subsidy from the Portuguese government. It serves Portuguese citizens, civil society organizations, public sector institutions, companies, municipalities, and CPLP (Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries) partners across Angola, Brazil, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, and Cape Verde. The organization delivers a portfolio of research indices including the annual Corruption Perceptions Index (IPC) and the Municipal Transparency Index (ITM), educational programs such as the Integrity Bootcamp for schools and RGPC/RGPDI training for the public sector, publications including Revista Transparente and the monthly MENAC bulletin, and civic initiatives such as the Business Integrity Forum, Festival Transparente, and Autarca pelo Bom Governo campaign.

The organization's technology stack relies on third-party platforms rather than proprietary systems: GlobaLeaks for the Provedoria whistleblower reporting service, Tresorit for GDPR-compliant data storage, Eventbrite for event registration, and Zoom for virtual debates. Revenue mechanics rest on three streams: individual and collective membership fees (€12/year for individuals; municipalities, parishes, universities, and regulators eligible for collective membership), private donations through the EasyPay platform, and project-based grants including the EU-funded APROFORT project supporting civil society in Equatorial Guinea. The go-to-market model is community-led, mobilizing citizens through membership, donations, advocacy campaigns, public events, and educational programs. Key institutional partners include MENAC (the Portuguese National Anti-Corruption Mechanism, with a formal protocol signed October 2024), the global Transparency International secretariat, RedeGOV (a Lusophone civic network created in 2017), ANDAEP, and the Global Anticorruption Consortium. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors, Supervisory Board, and Council of Jurisdiction; in 2026 José Fontão replaced Margarida Mano as President of the Direction following a partial renewal of governing bodies.

The organization's current scale is small (~7 employees), with strategic direction set by the Strategy TI Portugal 2023-2030 framework approved in 2023. Portugal ranked 46th out of 182 countries in the Corruption Perceptions Index 2025 with 56 points, representing a one-point decline from 2024. The organization publishes 14 monthly bulletins annually on anti-corruption best practices and has scaled the Integrity Bootcamp to its 4th edition, with continued geographic expansion through RedeGOV and EU-funded projects targeting Lusophone Africa.
