Anti-Corruption Collective Action (AC CA Playbook)

throughout the Collective Action process, the Playbook
enables readers to make a clear diagnosis of their local
corruption landscape, identify and engage stakeholders and
apply the Collective Action methodology to address identified
corruption challenges and mitigate potential business risks.
Multi-Stakeholders Workshop on Collective Action
Corruption is a major impediment to development, peace, and security. From health to
employment, education to the environment, business to sports, gender equality to
access to justice, and more – corruption undermines all areas of society’s development.
Corruption, conflict, and instability are meanwhile profoundly intertwined. Corruption
not only follows conflict but is also frequently one of its root causes. It fuels conflict and
inhibits peace processes by undermining the rule of law, worsening poverty, and
facilitating the illicit use of resources. Promoting transparency and strengthening
institutions are therefore critical for sustaining peace.
