Navigating corruption risks in multilateral organisations: new opportunities
U4 Partner Forum:
Providing core resources to multilateral organisations and implementing projects and programmes through them can pose corruption and fiduciary risks. Switzerland has launched a new initiative to strengthen its governance and oversight role within UN executive boards, shifting from crisis response to a forward-looking risk management approach. The initiative equips donor representatives with practical tools to identify reputational risks and engage more strategically in board-level oversight.
This Partner Forum will present the initiative and provide insights on a forthcoming U4 publication on enhancing anti-corruption provisions in donor agreements.
