About TI Z
Transparency International Zimbabwe (TI Z) is a non-profit, non-partisan, systems-oriented local chapter of the international movement against corruption. Its broad mandate is to fight corruption and related vices through integrity networks in line with the Transparency International Global Strategy. TI Z believes corruption can only be sufficiently tackled by all citizens including people at the grassroots level.
Background to the Call
Governments and communities across the world are increasingly grappling with growing inequalities, as well as environmental and economic disruptions that threaten sustainable development and social stability. In this context, the commitment of businesses to responsible and accountable conduct is fundamental to ensuring that entrusted power and resources are exercised for the common good. However, incentives for ethical and transparent conduct within the private sector remain weak. In many cases, businesses continue to be implicated in corrupt practices-ranging from bribery and collusion to procurement fraud-hereby perpetuating inequality, distorting markets, and eroding public trust. Transparency International Zimbabwe, informed by its current strategy believe that the private sector holds immense potential to drive integrity, transparency, and responsible business conduct. The sector’s influence across value chains-from procurement to service delivery-positions it as both a potential contributor to and a crucial partner in the fight against corruption.
To address various corruption challenges in the public sector, it is imperative to strengthen integrity within both the public and private sectors. Promoting ethical business practices, transparent corporate governance, and accountability mechanisms is key to ensuring sustainable anti-corruption outcomes. In this regard, TI Z seeks to services of a consultant/s to develop the Business Integrity Toolkit designed to help private sector companies implement robust anti-corruption measures, and sound corporate governance practices. The toolkit should offer practical guidance and tools that are user-friendly, adaptable, and grounded in both national law and international standards.
