Transparency International
Transparency International is looking for a Research Coordinator - Political Integrity (m/f/d) to coordinate the implementation of the Integrity Watch in the Western Balkans and Turkey - Civil Society Combating Corruption with Political Integrity Data (IW WB&T) and Bridgegap projects, conduct and coordinate research and provide thematic expertise in support of these project and TI’s global work on political integrity. Within this framework, the Research Coordinator - Political Integrity will support the IW chapters in Western Balkans and Turkey and the European Union with dataset scoping, training of staff on data analysis methods and support on Integrity Watch platform design and development.
The TI Secretariat in Berlin implements Integrity Watch (IW) projects to monitor integrity in political decision-making across since 2014. To date, IW platforms exist in 16 EU countries, four countries in the Western Balkans (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Serbia), Turkey, the United Kingdom and Chile.
Within this framework, Integrity Watch in the Western Balkans and Turkey - Civil Society Combating Corruption with Political Integrity Data (IW WB&T) is led by the Kosova Democratic Institute and implemented by five national chapters. IW provides officials, citizens, civil society and journalists with online tools making information on lobbying, conflicts of interests, assets and incomes of politicians accessible for the prevention, detection and reduction of political corruption, and develops tools for the detection of conflicts of interest, undue influence and flows of criminal money.
Linked to the IW approach, as part of the research programme Horizon Europe 2023-2024 and in partnership with a consortium of 14 academic institutions, the Bridgegap project aims at mapping and measuring the deficit of both legal and real transparency in EU-27 and neighbourhood countries, to clarify the interaction between transparency and citizen e-participation in order to design and adjust transparency policies for more effective preventive anticorruption policies at both member state and EU level. The project intends to map transparency and undue influence schemes by leveraging Integrity Watch data from EU countries, updating (existing tools) and upgrading (add new tools) in the IW platforms, and engaging policy makers with analysis and recommendations resulting from the research to curb undue influence.
