The goal of this project was to :

• Establish a sustainable multi-stakeholder and business-led Integrity Network in Egypt. The Integrity Network will engage in multi- stakeholder dialog and provide public policy recommendations. A global outreach will be undertaken by means of a well-designed communications strategy.
• Encourage Egyptian SMEs to commit to advancing their anti-corruption practices and sign an Integrity Pledge. Signatories were provided with capacity-building training on anti-corruption. An independent assessment process was planned to be developed for participating SMEs to assess their performance in connection with anti-corruption programs.
• Provide tangible business advantages and incentives to SMEs in Egypt which demonstrate ethical leadership and to motivate them to join the fight against corruption. Efforts will be made to convince SMEs that fighting corruption has business value.

As a result, 108 SMEs adopted the Integrity Pledge, appointed Ethics & Compliance Managers, and submitted Anti-Corruption Policies. Over 500 SMEs were equipped with knowledge about the core concepts of anti-corruption and with the capacity to mitigate key corruption risks.
