To reduce corruption by strengthening legal frameworks, promoting public-private dialogue and improving private sector capacity to enhance integrity

The project is active in eight countries: Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. In addition, the project has a global component which plays a critical role in upscaling effective approaches, achieving sustainability and disseminating good practices on business integrity in global policy
To achieve its objectives, the project implements several activities which:
  • Foster legislative reforms to prevent and counter corruption;
  • Increase government knowledge of legal frameworks and good practices;
