Capacitating African business networks to implement global anti-corruption initiatives and good practices

Mission

Enable African business networks in Angola and South Africa to implement anti-corruption initiatives and good governance practices

Goals

This project aimed to enable African business networks in Angola and South Africa to implement anti-corruption initiatives and good governance practices.

Business networks and individual businesses seldom have the appropriate expertise to implement internationally developed anti-corruption and good governance guidelines, standards and initiatives, and are often unaware of their existence. Other challenges in the anti-corruption field relate to making impacts felt at ground level, and creating platforms for the private and public sectors to engage on corruption challenges and Collective Action solutions.

The project address these challenges by build local capacity in two countries:

• In Angola, the focus was be on Collective Action initiatives in the private sector with the aim of enhancing ethical business practices and good governance standards.
• In South Africa, the project aimed to reduce corruption on the ground level, by engaging with municipalities and businesses at the local level to implement collective projects that will impact positively on the ethical business climate and municipal service delivery.

Stakeholders

This project was implemented by The Ethics Institute (TEI) with funding from the Siemens Integrity Initiative.
