Transparency International Lithuania

What Transparency International Lithuania does

Transparency International Lithuania (TILS), legally Transparency International Lietuvos skyrius, is a Vilnius-based non-governmental, non-profit organization founded in 1999 as the Lithuanian chapter of the global Transparency International movement. With approximately 11 employees and a single headquarters at Didžioji g. 5, Vilnius, TILS pursues a public-policy mission of advancing government, political, business, media, and judicial transparency while reducing corruption in Lithuania. Its work spans research and advocacy, legislative proposals to bodies such as the Special Investigation Service (STT), anti-corruption education, and participatory-budgeting implementation across municipalities.

TILS operates an integrated portfolio of digital transparency tools built on aggregated public-data sources. Core offerings include Otas, an interactive transparency search platform indexing politicians, institutions, companies, and legislation; ManoSeimas.lt, a parliamentary-monitoring portal tracking legislator participation and interest-group meetings; STIRNAS.info, a media-ownership transparency site; Atviras teismas, an open-court performance portal; NVOatlasas.lt, an NGO self-disclosure registry; and manovalstybe.info, which maps municipal company directors to political parties. Complementary programs include the international Transparency School (16th edition in 2025 with 120+ participants from ~60 countries), the Integrity Schools Network (Sąžiningumo mokyklų tinklas) engaging 60-80 schools, and a research library of 600+ publications on corruption and prevention.

The organization's revenue model is a mix of institutional funding from the European Commission and international foundations, project-based grants (including STEP EU with partners in eight EU countries and iMonitor with partners in Italy, Spain, Romania, and Hungary), service fees for consultations, trainings, seminars, and discussions delivered to public, private, NGO, and media-sector clients, and individual or private-company donations. Distribution is primarily direct engagement with Lithuanian institutions plus international program participation through the global Transparency International network. TILS has won the 2019 Amalia Award (for Transparency School) and the 2022 World Summit Award in Digital Governance and Citizen Engagement (for ManoSeimas.lt), and Lithuania scored 65/100 on Transparency International's 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index, ranking 28th of 182 countries.

Direct peers

• Sunlight Foundation: US-based NGO promoting transparency and accountability in government through digital tools and open data, with a similar civic-tech / open-data advocacy model to TILS's Otas and ManoSeimas.lt platforms.
• International Budget Partnership: Global NGO focused on public finance transparency and participatory budgeting, the exact policy domain where TILS's biggest measurable impact (52/60 municipalities, 20M EUR allocated) lies. Highly comparable on mission, methodology, and target beneficiaries.
• OCCRP (Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project): Global investigative journalism network focused on organized crime and corruption, comparable in mission to TILS but delivering impact through investigative reporting rather than advocacy and digital civic tools. Both operate as part of the broader anti-corruption ecosystem.
• Transparency International UK: Well-resourced UK chapter of the Transparency International network running advocacy, corporate anti-corruption, and transparency programs at significantly larger scale. Useful peer benchmark for the funding, programs, and reach TILS could aspire to as it grows.
• Transparency International (Secretariat): Global parent organization of the Transparency International movement, operating the same anti-corruption advocacy mission at worldwide scale. It sets the methodologies (including CPI) and brand framework that TILS implements locally, making it the most directly comparable peer.
• Global Integrity: Independent research and advisory organization producing evidence on governance and anti-corruption, closely comparable to TILS's research, advocacy, and Transparency School training functions but operating globally rather than within a single country.
• Accountable Now: International membership network of civil society organizations focused on accountability, transparency, and good governance standards, comparable to TILS as a peer NGO that advocates for accountability frameworks and citizen participation across countries.
• Transparency International Estonia: Direct sister chapter of Transparency International in Estonia, pursuing the same anti-corruption and transparency advocacy mission in a comparable Baltic digital-governance environment and sharing methodology and tooling with TILS.
• Transparency International Latvia: Direct sister chapter of Transparency International in neighboring Latvia, with the same advocacy, research, and anti-corruption education mandate in a comparable Baltic market. TILS and TIL often co-bid on regional grants and run sibling programs.

Broad incumbents

• Open Government Partnership: Multistakeholder initiative of 70+ governments and civil society organizations promoting open government, transparency, and civic participation. Overlaps with TILS in the open-government domain but operates at multilateral governmental scale rather than as a national advocacy NGO.
