The 4th International Collective Action Conference brought together over 200 participants from the private sector, civil society, academia and the public sector working in the field of anti-corruption. Collective action across anti-corruption silos played a major role in panel discussions, workshops and exhibitions.
Multi-stakeholder approaches to anti-corruption were discussed and seen by participants as increasingly wide-spread and successful. This is also reflected in publications such as the OECD’s 2021 Anti-Bribery Recommendations, which emphasise collective action and partnerships as an important component of the fight against corruption.
For the first time, the Anti-Corruption Collective Action Awards were presented to organisations that have been successful in anti-corruption work through collective action. Awards were given in the categories “Outstanding Achievement” and “Inspirational Newcomer”. The initiatives were selected in a public vote. MSPs such as “CoST – the Infrastructure Transparency Initiative“ were also among the nominees.
