Transparency International Norge

What Transparency International Norge does

Transparency International Norge (TI Norge) is a Norwegian non-profit association founded in 1999 and headquartered at Kristian Augusts gate 14 in Oslo. It is the Norwegian national chapter of Transparency International, operating as part of a global anti-corruption network present in over 100 countries. With a staff of approximately 8, TI Norge works to prevent corruption and promote transparency, integrity, and accountability across Norwegian society, engaging municipalities, central government, businesses, and civil society. Its core activities include research publication (notably the Global Corruption Barometer Norway), policy advocacy through consultation responses to the Storting and ministries, media commentary, and capacity-building via training and events.

TI Norge's core products and tools are content-based rather than technology-based. The organization publishes freely downloadable anti-corruption handbooks for businesses ("Beskytt din virksomhet!") and municipalities ("Beskytt kommunen!"), a curated collection of Norwegian corruption court decisions spanning 2003-2023 (Korrupsjonsdommer i Norge), Global Corruption Barometer reports, and dilemma collections for ethics training in Norwegian and English. E-learning courses are delivered via the third-party Kayaconnect platform, while document storage uses Jottacloud (Norwegian-hosted, GDPR-aligned) and accounting is outsourced to EconPartner AS. The principal recurring events are the annual Antikorrupsjonskonferansen (co-organized with NHO, KLP, Kvamme Associates and Selmer) and the Etikkonferansen (co-organized with KS and the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development). The technical stack is deliberately lightweight, with no proprietary AI or ML components, no public APIs, and no mobile applications.

The organization's business model combines three revenue streams: annual membership fees from individual and business/organization members, government and institutional grants (most notably a three-year Norad agreement supporting global Transparency International work), and limited course and publication-related income, since most publications are distributed free of charge. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on thought-leadership content, media presence, and high-profile annual conferences for member acquisition and policy influence. Strategic partnerships with NHO, KS, KLP, Selmer, Kvamme Associates, Norad, and Etisk handel Norge anchor both program delivery and revenue diversification. A new organizational strategy covering 2026-2030 was adopted by the board in April 2026, providing direction for the next phase of programmatic expansion.
