Biography

The 2023 Annual Report of the Basel Institute on Governance features seven stories from our work around the world to promote good governance and counter corruption. They illustrate not just what we do, but how we work to achieve real and lasting progress towards a more peaceful, just and sustainable world. 

The stories showcase different ways in which we collaborate with partners worldwide to advance knowledge, practice and policy on anti-corruption, asset recovery and business integrity:

Train-the-trainer programme in Zambia to build on asset recovery momentum

The Basel Institute’s International Centre for Asset Recovery (ICAR) has marked the beginning of a new “train-the-trainer” programme in Zambia with a successful course on financial investigations and asset recovery.

The train-the-trainer programme aims to increase local training capacity by equipping five local anti-corruption professionals with the skills to become qualified ICAR trainers over the course of five workshops, while simultaneously training up to 125 other participants.

Peruvian region takes an important step towards protecting forests from corruption

The regional government of San Martín, Peru has approved a significant new regulation to protect its forests from the devastating impact of illegal logging. This regulation aims to disrupt corruption in forest management, preventing “wood washing” by revolutionising the procedure and system for approving transport permits (guías de transporte forestal).

Paris, Vilnius, Basel: Business integrity goes on tour

Paris is known as the city of love. But once a year, during the OECD Global Anti-Corruption Forum (GACIF), it also becomes the beating heart of integrity – at least for the anti-corruption community.

Under the theme “Designing our future with integrity”, this year’s Forum brought together anti-corruption experts from business, government and civil society from around the world to explore trends in the fight for integrity and against corruption.
