Reportedly, Transparency International has requested governments to take a stand for free media and support civil rights.

This will help in creating a civil society that will keep a check and balance on the spending of the government.

Furthermore, 12 international organizations have compiled data to formulate the corruption index, including the World Bank and the World Economic Forum as well.
