This special event took place in hybrid format at the 11th Conference of the States Parties to the UN Convention Against Corruption in Doha, Qatar. It was co-organised by the Basel Institute on Governance, OECD and Stolen Asset Recovery (StAR) Initiative.
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.
