TI Lithuania together with partners from Latvia and Norway are currently working on an initiative “Transparency Index of Local Authorities 2024”. The overarching goal of the project is to foster Nordic-Baltic cooperation in ensuring transparent and accountable governance at the local level. This initiative aims to enhance the ability of citizens and journalists to prevent and detect corruption, hold decision-makers accountable and ensure the availability of channels for legitimate interest representation activities. Overall project budget: 13120 EUR, project duration: 01.02.2024 – 31.12.2024. As part of this initiative, TI Lithuania shared its expertise with colleagues from TI chapters in Norway and Latvia. As a result, TI Latvia developed a renewed, internationally applicable methodology to measure the level of transparency of local governments. Please find more information here.
