Projects

The Digital Whistleblowing Fund is a micro-grant program that aims to enable investigative journalism groups and human rights grassroots organizations to receive financial, operational and strategic support in starting a secure digital whistleblowing initiative, as part of their social mission.

Digital Whistleblowing fund was supported by OSIFE in its first call for application meant for projects operating within Europe.

Whistleblowing EU promotes the adoption of GlobaLeaks across Europe in the context of Directive (EU) 2019/1937.

The Directive sets a common floor, but every member state has transposed it into its own national law, with its own thresholds, its own supervisory authority and its own wording. Whistleblowing EU maps that landscape with one page per country, written in the local language, that states what the national law asks for and shows how GlobaLeaks answers it.

It is meant as a practical starting point for any organization that has to comply and would rather not begin from a blank page: read what the law requires, then see the free and open-source software that satisfies it.

WhistleblowingPA is an initiative in collaboration with Transparency International Italia that makes available to all public bodies, subsidiaries and affiliates, a free IT platform to receive and manage reports of corruption.

The administration that subscribes to the WhistleblowingPA project has access to a personal platform, based on the GlobaLeaks software. On this platform, the Head of Corruption Prevention receives the reports and communicates with the whistleblower, also anonymously.

The platform is available with a questionnaire specifically designed for the fight against corruption in compliance with italian regulation n.179/2017 and European Directive 2019/1937.

Speak Up Europe was a two-year project coordinated by Transparency International that aimed to prevent corruption in high-risk areas in the EU by empowering individuals to speak up about misconduct to public, private and civil society organisations able to take action.

To achieve this, the project provided European citizens with safe corruption reporting channels and with technical, legal and advocacy assistance in Bulgaria, France, Hungary, Latvia, Romania and Slovenia. GlobaLeaks collaborated with Transparency International’s chapters in these countries to implement the whistleblowing framework.

The project also helped public and private European organisations in high-risk sectors to implement best-practice whistleblowing mechanisms. A pilot initiative was developed in Slovenia to replicate the successful experience gained in Italy with WhistleblowingPA.

This project was funded by the European Commission.

EAT was a two-year anti-corruption project developed by civil society organisations from the ten countries with the highest level of corruption in Europe, according to Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index.

The project promoted a whistleblowing culture centred on the use and improvement of secure whistleblowing technology, the EAT dropboxes based on GlobaLeaks, to contribute to a lower level of corruption by empowering local civil society.

This project was funded by the European Commission.
