Presentation Transcript

  1. Research on transparency and accountability around the world • Working with local CSOs on new approaches of doing research (in terms of methodology, tools)

  2. G20 Mexico 2012 Questions In which new ways can civil society organizations impact results of anti-corruption policies? In which areas could businesses be doing more?

  3. To Answer These Questions… • Focus on citizens are using information technologiesto get results, and the new opportunities this creates for the private sector to engage with civil society (simultaneously with higher level agenda). • Global Integrity welcomes G20 anti-corruption efforts and is optimistic about commitments around asset recovery, whistleblower protection, and enforcement of foreign bribery legislation. • We support CSOs requests (Feb. 2012),including new “publish what you fund” legislation and a formal process for more meaningful civil society engagement in the Anti-Corruption Working Group.

  13. Governments Stepping In…

  14. What We Haven’t Found Much of: Private Sector …except when it comes to protecting the brand. Still, a sign of collaboration potential.

  15. Next Steps Natural next step is for the private sector (multinationals/small and medium businesses) to become more deeply involved with civil society initiatives, simultaneously with higher level anti-corruption agenda. Projects that take a collaborative approach get better results. Specifically: • Being responsive (answering questions, being part of a dialogue, disclosing more information…). • Supporting these new initiatives, partnering up with them in local/global contexts where/when it makes sense. • Being proactive, proposing other new mechanisms to engage civil society in accomplishing anti-corruption objectives.
