The Basel Institute's International Centre for Collective Action completed its second of two workshops convening select Siemens Integrity Initiative Integrity Partners and other Collective Action Initiatives in Basel, Switzerland from 27 to 28 April 2018. The aim was to promote peer learning and to identify success factors and strategies for overcoming common challenges facing anti-corruption Collective Action Initiatives.

The workshop consisted of plenary sessions where participants presented the work of their Collective Action initiatives and breakout sessions, which presented an opportunity for in-depth exchange on the focus topics of launching a Collective Action; building multi-stakeholder alliances; and creating sustainability and long-term engagement. The final joint discussion saw participants engaging in and sharing their assessments on the way forward in Collective Action as well as on policy recommendations to overcome key challenges.

The previous workshop was held in collaboration with the Egyptian Junior Business Association Integrity Network Initiative and in conjunction with their Regional Clinic for the Middle East and Africa on “Collective Action to Counter Corruption and Foster Integrity” in Aswan, Egypt from 7 to 8 February 2018.
