History
Transparency International was founded in Berlin in 1993 by a group of economists who were increasingly aware of the major impediments to corruption in the fight against poverty in developing countries.
At present, Transparency has more than a hundred branches with it headquarters in Berlin, Germany. The Slovak branch was established in 1998 by the initiative of Eugen Jurzyca, Director of the Center for Economic Development. In 2002, it started to act alone as an independent civic association – Transparency International Slovakia. From the beginning until 2009, the President was Emília Sičáková – Beblavá. From September 2009 to March 2021, Gabriel Šípoš led the organization and is currently a member of its Management Board. Since April 2021, Michal Piško has been the Director of Transparency International Slovakia.
