Transparency International seeks Young Visionaries 2018

Transparency International is looking for young people with new ideas and fresh perspectives. The competition seeks to identify young people with an instinct for innovation and the drive to tackle corruption.

If you have a passion for innovation, the ability to devise new solutions to old problems, and a willingness to challenge the established orthodoxy, then they want to hear from you. They need your help in addressing the malign presence of land corruption in Africa.

Transparency International is the global coalition against corruption. From villages in rural Africa to the corridors of power in Brussels, they give voice to the men and women affected by corruption. Their global movement has just one vision: they want a world free of corruption.
