The TI Knowledge Centre constitutes our archives. The effective use of knowledge is perhaps the most potent of all the weapons we can use in the fight against corruption. The right information in the right hands in the right place and at the right time is a formidable combination.

Knowledge Centre sets out to make necessary knowledge readily available to activists, policy-makers, journalists, lawyers, parliamentarians, private sector interests, law enforcers and law reformers. It facilitates the drafting of new instruments and the appraisal of reforms proposed by others.

These are the most notable findings of the third annual SWS Survey of Enterprises About Public Sector Corruption, which was done over October 2002 to February 2003. These SWS surveys obtain the views of Filipino managers, not expatriates, unlike the surveys used in international corruption indexes, which are done by foreign consulting firms.
