PROJECT WEBSITE (SPANISH ONLY)
The second phase of the project "On the Level: Business and Government against Corruption in Colombia" brings together the public and the private sectors in Colombia to promote fair competition. It supports stakeholders in identifying and mitigating corruption risks in the energy and healthcare sectors.
As part of this project, UNODC reviews existing legislation and provides a space for partners to develop policy recommendations for further improvement, for example in the area of beneficial ownership transparency and public procurement. UNODC also promotes the signing of integrity pacts in the energy and healthcare sectors. Activities in Colombia are also covered under the Global Action for Business Integrity project.
A document on beneficial ownership transparency, based on technical workshops with stakeholders from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, México, and Peru, has been finalized and distributed. It provides recommendations to enhance beneficial ownership transparency in these countries
This project is funded by the Siemens Integrity Initiative.
