Korruptsioonivaba Eesti

What Korruptsioonivaba Eesti does

Korruptsioonivaba Eesti (MTÜ Korruptsioonivaba Eesti), operating as Transparency International Estonia, is a non-profit association founded in 2000 and headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia. It functions as the official Estonian national chapter of Transparency International and is the primary independent civil society voice monitoring government transparency and corruption in Estonia. The organization pursues anti-corruption objectives through policy advocacy, research and publications, training for public officials, youth education, and direct advisory services to potential whistleblowers. Its primary beneficiaries are Estonian public sector institutions, municipalities, businesses, schools, and individuals considering reporting corruption.

The organization's portfolio of products and services includes the Ausa Riigi Valvur (Honest State Watcher), an automated conflict-of-interest detection tool for public sector use; the ALAC (Advice and Information Centre), a free whistleblower advisory service; the Practical Corruption Prevention Training program for government officials; the WAKE-UP whistleblower advocacy project funded by the European Commission; participation in the Integrity Watch 3.0 pan-European lobbying and integrity platform; a portfolio of published handbooks (e.g., Whistleblowing Mechanism Toolkit for Businesses, Inclusive Budgeting Handbook for Schools); and annual publication of Estonia's Corruption Perceptions Index score. The organization also runs youth education programs and inclusive budgeting exercises in cooperation with the Estonian Cooperation Assembly.

The business model is non-commercial. All core services — publications, trainings, ALAC advisory, and consultations — are provided free of charge. Revenue is generated through project-based grants (EU programs including the EC Criminal Justice Programme, Open Estonia Foundation, Nordic-Baltic cooperation funds), the multi-year USA vs Danske Bank compensation-funded program, and public donations. The organization publishes an annual donor list and discloses donors contributing over 500 EUR per fiscal year. Headcount is small (1-10 employees), and leadership includes a Chairman of the Board (Taavi Saat), Executive Director (Anni Jatsa), board members, and an advocacy specialist.
