The Government Defence Integrity Index (GDI) produced by Transparency International Defence & Security, is the world’s leading assessment of corruption risks in government defence institutions.
The GDI assesses five key corruption risk areas: financial, operational, personnel, political, and procurement. In order to provide a broad and comprehensive reflection of these risk areas, the Index assesses both legal frameworks (de jure) and implementation (de facto), as well as resources and outcomes in some areas.
The GDI provides a framework of good practice that promotes accountable, transparent, and responsible governance in the defence establishment.
