Poor families are hit hardest by demands for bribes in developed as well as developing countries, according to Transparency international’s Global Corruption Barometer 2007. The public opinion survey, published today ahead of International Anti-Corruption Day on 9 December, also found that citizens in countries across the globe continue to see political parties and parliaments as the institutions most compromised by corruption. The Barometer, which surveys 63,199 respondents in 60 countries, offers a broad spectrum of data on common experiences of corruption, including which institutions most frequently demand bribes, where citizens see the greatest degree of corruption, and how they see both the future development of corruption and their governments' efforts to eradicate it.

The Global Transparency Initiative (GTI)
http://www.ifitransparency.org
GTI is a grouping of civil society organizations committed to openness, believes that everyone has a right to access information held by international financial institutions (IFIs). Despite a stated commitment to openness, most IFIs remain highly secretive. The GTI is asking civil society groups and like organizations with an interest in IFI openness to endorse the GTI Transparency Charter, which we hope will increasingly be used in advocacy efforts around IFI openness. The Charter is the GTI's flagship statement of the standards to which we believe IFI access to information policies should conform.
