Civil society

CSOs are critical in combating transnational corruption, by generating evidence and advocating for change, especially in contexts with open civic space, press freedom and in collaboration with key stakeholders.

Findings on the impact of anti-corruption awareness campaigns suggest that highlighting progress in anti-corruption efforts and the public's strong disapproval of corrupt practices leads to improved results.

Innovative metrics and methodologies offer promising avenues for enhancing the effectiveness of integrity training.

In Madagascar, high-level corruption can undermine local efforts to save the island’s threatened ecosystems. Communities need better participation and improved trust in conservation organisations.

Grassroots anti-corruption interventions led by local civil society organisations are recognised as crucial in addressing challenges and reducing fragility in vulnerable states, as top-down solutions and single-issue approaches often fall short in tackling complex issues of governance and accountability.
