E.A.T.

Partners


Nine partner organisations were involved in the EAT Project, working across 11 different EU member states. The make up of the group meant that the Project could draw on a mix of international expertise and deep in-country experience.

The Project focused on those EU member states which scored most poorly on Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index. These EU member states also had low levels of whistleblower protection, as measured by EAT partner Blueprint for Free Speech. These are the countries we think have most to gain from the deployment of anonymous tipping technologies.

Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) 

Transparency International’s CPI ranks 180 countries and territories by their perceived levels of public sector corruption, according to experts and business people.

The Index uses a scale of 0 to 100, where 0 is highly corrupt and 100 indicates an absence of corruption. Worldwide, more than two thirds of countries scored below 50 on the CPI in 2017. The average score is just 43.

The continued failure of most countries to significantly control corruption contributes to the democratic crisis worldwide. What the data shows us is that, for most countries, there is a long way to go.
