We are pleased to announce that the Basel Institute on Governance has received funding through the Siemens Integrity Initiative’s Evolve Funding Round. This fresh support will help launch the new global project "Unlocking the Potential of Collective Action".

This new funding marks the next chapter in a partnership that began in 2009 and has played a decisive role in shaping today’s global Collective Action landscape for more than 15 years.

Unlocking the potential of Collective Action

Through this three-year initiative, the Basel Institute will work with partners across ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and South Africa to strengthen Collective Action as a practical tool to prevent corruption.

The project combines tailored mentoring, technical assistance and peer learning with an embedded train-the-trainer approach. By empowering local champions to design and drive initiatives that respond to evolving risks and sector-specific challenges, the project aims to ensure that Collective Action remains resilient over time.

Beyond capacity building, the initiative seeks to further embed Collective Action as a recognised global norm. By engaging a critical mass of public- and private-sector stakeholders, it will help transform high-level commitments into meaningful collaboration that strengthens integrity and levels the playing field.

We are deeply grateful to Siemens for their continued partnership and support through the Evolve round. Together, we look forward to reinforcing Collective Action as an impactful, long-term approach to creating fairer markets.
