International Anti-Corruption Conference 2018

From 22nd to 24th October, the 18th International Anti-Corruption Conference (IACC) will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark. The theme of the conference, hosted by the Danish government, will be 'Together for Development, Peace and Security', and it will consist of a wide range of workshops, forums, film viewings and other events.

22nd October | 12:00-2:00pm

The workshop will be coordinated by Transparency International's Head of Business Integrity, Katya Bechel, and will feature speakers from both private and public sectors.

The Alliance for Integrity will be co-organising a workshop entitled Corruption and Private Sector: Entry Points and Building Coalitions with Civil Society along with representatives from the World Bank and the Basel Institute on Governance. This session will focus on new and evolving approaches to addressing corruption in the context of private sector development, building upon recent analytical work and operational experience.

The session will present three distinct perspectives on confronting corruption and private sector development:
1- reducing elite capture of economic growth;
2- tackling corruption in large-scale investment projects; and
3 -strengthening returns on improved governance in investment markets.  
For each area, the panel will explore how civil society can support and participate in changing practices, behaviors, and outcomes. Particular topics will include identifying and confronting regulatory capture, implementation of integrity compliance programs, and integrating corruption risks in the pricing of investments.
