of Business Integrity, Katya Bechel, and will feature speakers from both
private and public sectors.
23rd October | 4:30-6:30pm
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.
