THE SPORT TRANSPARENCY INDEX

The Sport Transparency Index project will create the means to benchmark Sport Stakeholders against a robust set of Sport Integrity-related Transparency Indicators. The outcomes are intended to work to improve standards across sport by shining a light on current capacities and levels of Sport Integrity Transparency. To enable positive change the project will also deliver a related training programme and a set of policy recommendations to facilitate knowledge exchange. It is our intention to make all aspects of the Sport Transparency Index project accessible and inclusive for all Sport Stakeholders. As such we warmly welcome your interest in becoming involved with the project and look forward to engaging with you further as we move forwards.

The project, led by SIGA in collaboration with 13 other partner organisations, will identify and quantify best practice and enable all stakeholders to improve through the provision of clear and implementable policies, education and training to raise standards. The Sport Transparency Index is co-funded by the European Union through the ERASMUS + Programme.
