Description and results
Description
This project aims to increase the integrity, transparency and accountability of public institutions and businesses, while empowering civil society to advocate for change in policy and practice. By working with businesses to improve their practices, public bodies to develop and enforce better anti-corruption legislation and practices, and individuals and communities to empower them to address corruption, this project contributes to improving the conditions for sustainable economic growth. In the Americas, this project supports increased adoption and exercise of accountability standards and laws by governments and security and judicial institutions to improve the security situation in targeted countries. In Africa, this project focuses on supporting networks of business, community and government actors to integrate existing and develop new evidence to increase access to basic services and improve the governance of land rights. Project activities include : (1) setting up or strengthening Advocacy and Legal Advice Centres (ALACs) to support citizens in identifying, reporting and dealing with cases of corruption; (2) conducting surveys and capturing data on experiences of corruption to create evidence for strengthening policy making and legal systems; (3) developing, testing and implementing new public sector integrity tools, such as a Security Justice Accountability Dashboard, to assess gaps between security and justice standards and actual public and business experiences, allowing authorities to adjust regulations and legislation according to identified needs; (4) conducting Business Integrity Country Assessments (BICA) to evaluate the anti-corruption operating environment and identify areas to improve business practices; and (5) developing training, standards and initiatives to help companies and business associations implement anti-corruption programs.
Expected results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) empowered people, groups and communities demonstrating that corruption can be challenged effectively; (2) improved anti-corruption policy and practice by local, national and regional public institutions, including on safety and security; and (3) increased commitment to transparency, accountability and integrity in business practice.
Results achieved
Results achieved as of March 2020 include : (1) 11,171 complaints from citizens of corruption were processed by the project’s “Advocacy and Legal Advice Centres” (ALAC); (2) 29 new laws and policies were introduced by host governments to counter corruption; (3) six public security institutions introduced new codes of conduct on transparency an integrity; (4) 26 private companies instituted transparency and codes of conduct guidelines; (5) 132,928 citizens have been trained or informed on how to counter corruption; (6) between 2019 and 2020, 47 mobile ALACs reached 39,588 individuals (of which 64% were women); (7) anti-corruption awareness campaigns have reached millions of citizens. For example in Peru, Transparency International identified illegal logging linked to corrupt local officials and brought the issue to the attention of the local prosecutor; Transparency International public awareness campaigns also created public interest in the case, which protected the prosecutor from political pressure to drop the case; and (8) research on how corruption affects men and women differently was initiated and a report on “sextortion” was published.
