Yet for those very reasons, it is a puzzle that so many governments in corruption-prone countries have voluntarily signed up to greater scrutiny in this area, by joining the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI).\n\nWe argue that EITI serves as a reputational intermediary, whereby reformers can signal good intentions and international actors can reward achievement. International and domestic actors thus utilize EITI to diffuse the norm of resource transparency and to advance reformist aims in a highly problematic policy area.","","English",2015,"Governance: An International Journal of Policy, Administration and Institutions","2015-01-01",true,[21],"Collective Action",[],[24],{"url":25,"caption":26},"https:\u002F\u002Fonlinelibrary.wiley.com\u002Fdoi\u002Fabs\u002F10.1111\u002Fgove.12163","View on Wiley Online Library",false,[21],[15],[31],"Article",[21],[34],{"id":35,"publications_id":36,"countries_id":55},929,{"id":5,"status":6,"sort":7,"user_created":37,"date_created":8,"user_updated":38,"date_updated":9,"nid":10,"slug":11,"image":7,"title":12,"body":13,"citation":14,"language":15,"year":16,"publisher":17,"date_published":18,"external":19,"topic":39,"link_internal":40,"link_external":41,"featured":27,"topics":43,"languages":44,"type":45,"area":7,"programme":7,"websites":46,"summary":7,"pdf_text":7,"main_points":7,"short_version":7,"subtitle":7,"countries":47,"tags":48,"pdf":51,"authors":52},"03bebfd8-0b40-4a2a-820d-b9d9c13b9de6","3d9ff205-1640-4f34-b5b6-86977f51bbd6",[21],[],[42],{"url":25,"caption":26},[21],[15],[31],[21],[35],[49,50],4037,5099,[],[53,54],2278,2279,{"id":56,"name":57,"code":58,"latitude":59,"longitude":60},41,"Switzerland","CH",46.81819,8.22751,[62,79],{"id":49,"publications_id":63,"tags_id":76},{"id":5,"status":6,"sort":7,"user_created":37,"date_created":8,"user_updated":38,"date_updated":9,"nid":10,"slug":11,"image":7,"title":12,"body":13,"citation":14,"language":15,"year":16,"publisher":17,"date_published":18,"external":19,"topic":64,"link_internal":65,"link_external":66,"featured":27,"topics":68,"languages":69,"type":70,"area":7,"programme":7,"websites":71,"summary":7,"pdf_text":7,"main_points":7,"short_version":7,"subtitle":7,"countries":72,"tags":73,"pdf":74,"authors":75},[21],[],[67],{"url":25,"caption":26},[21],[15],[31],[21],[35],[49,50],[],[53,54],{"id":77,"name":78},830,"Business integrity",{"id":50,"publications_id":80,"tags_id":93},{"id":5,"status":6,"sort":7,"user_created":37,"date_created":8,"user_updated":38,"date_updated":9,"nid":10,"slug":11,"image":7,"title":12,"body":13,"citation":14,"language":15,"year":16,"publisher":17,"date_published":18,"external":19,"topic":81,"link_internal":82,"link_external":83,"featured":27,"topics":85,"languages":86,"type":87,"area":7,"programme":7,"websites":88,"summary":7,"pdf_text":7,"main_points":7,"short_version":7,"subtitle":7,"countries":89,"tags":90,"pdf":91,"authors":92},[21],[],[84],{"url":25,"caption":26},[21],[15],[31],[21],[35],[49,50],[],[53,54],{"id":94,"name":95},804,"Natural resources",[],[98,115],{"id":53,"publications_id":99,"authors_id":112},{"id":5,"status":6,"sort":7,"user_created":37,"date_created":8,"user_updated":38,"date_updated":9,"nid":10,"slug":11,"image":7,"title":12,"body":13,"citation":14,"language":15,"year":16,"publisher":17,"date_published":18,"external":19,"topic":100,"link_internal":101,"link_external":102,"featured":27,"topics":104,"languages":105,"type":106,"area":7,"programme":7,"websites":107,"summary":7,"pdf_text":7,"main_points":7,"short_version":7,"subtitle":7,"countries":108,"tags":109,"pdf":110,"authors":111},[21],[],[103],{"url":25,"caption":26},[21],[15],[31],[21],[35],[49,50],[],[53,54],{"id":113,"name":114,"position":7,"image":7},421,"Elizabeth Dávid-Barrett",{"id":54,"publications_id":116,"authors_id":129},{"id":5,"status":6,"sort":7,"user_created":37,"date_created":8,"user_updated":38,"date_updated":9,"nid":10,"slug":11,"image":7,"title":12,"body":13,"citation":14,"language":15,"year":16,"publisher":17,"date_published":18,"external":19,"topic":117,"link_internal":118,"link_external":119,"featured":27,"topics":121,"languages":122,"type":123,"area":7,"programme":7,"websites":124,"summary":7,"pdf_text":7,"main_points":7,"short_version":7,"subtitle":7,"countries":125,"tags":126,"pdf":127,"authors":128},[21],[],[120],{"url":25,"caption":26},[21],[15],[31],[21],[35],[49,50],[],[53,54],{"id":130,"name":131,"position":7,"image":7},459,"Ken Okamura",[133,184,220,266,291,344,411,435,485,524],{"id":134,"slug":135,"title":136,"status":6,"nid":137,"year":138,"body":139,"external":27,"topic":140,"language":15,"type":142,"date_published":144,"image":145,"citation":14,"publisher":146,"link_internal":147,"link_external":151,"authors":152,"countries":161,"tags":162,"pdf":177,"topics":179,"featured":27,"languages":7,"summary":7,"programme":7,"area":7,"websites":7,"pdf_text":7,"sort":7,"user_created":37,"date_created":181,"user_updated":38,"date_updated":182,"main_points":7,"short_version":7,"subtitle":7,"link":183},2395,"quick-guide-39-business-integrity-and-ethics","Quick Guide 39: Business integrity and ethics",2785,2025,"The changing landscape of anti-corruption regulation and enforcement has triggered important discussions around the role of ethics and compliance in business strategies and in the economy as a whole.

This short conference report presents main insights, quotes as well as infographics and graphic recordings from the two-day event, which welcomed around 200 people from around the world and across all sectors.\n\nA key theme of this year’s conference was the importance of building local, regional and international communities of practice. These communities bring together different constellations of people and organisations interested in the Collective Action approach to improve skills, develop joint solutions and advance knowledge about how to make initiatives effective in different contexts. \n\nFive panel discussions, three interactive breakout sessions and multiple networking opportunities, including an exhibition, offered many occasions for sharing experiences and best practices in anti-corruption Collective Action and breaking down silos.\n\n### About this report and acknowledgements\n\nThe Basel Institute on Governance thanks the Siemens Integrity Initiative for supporting and providing funding for the conference’s 5th edition, as well as all speakers and breakout session facilitating organisations.

Governments and humanitarian aid agencies are expected to be at the forefront of preparing for and responding to such disasters.\n\nHowever, occasionally the scale and impact of some natural disasters are so large that additional resources beyond what governments can provide become necessary. In such cases, efforts may be perceived as insufficient and slow. Resources and efforts need to be augmented in order to provide relief and support to those who need it most.\n\nCould the private sector take a more leading role in pre- and post-disaster efforts? How could a structured, long-term engagement reduce the inevitable integrity risks in high-stress disaster situations involving numerous government, business and international actors?\n\nThis Policy Brief looks at how the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pdrf.org\u002F\">Philippines Disaster Resilience Foundation\u003C\u002Fa> (PDRF) has emerged as a leading private-sector coordinator for disaster risk reduction and management.\n\nIt illustrates the important role that the private sector can play in responding to – and building resilience to – natural disasters and other humanitarian emergencies.

La lutte contre ce fléau est un effort collectif et le secteur privé a un rôle majeur à jouer dans la promotion d'un environnement économique prospère et d’un développement durable du continent.\n\nC'est pourquoi l'Action Collective  contre la corruption a tant à offrir à l'Afrique, et en particulier aux États côtiers d'Afrique de l'Ouest désireux de maximiser leur potentiel économique. Le spectre des initiatives d'Action Collective étant assez large, il permet des mesures innovantes où gouvernements, entreprises et organisations de la société civile (OSC) unissent leurs forces, malgré des intérêts parfois divergents. Cette approche collaborative constitue à la fois un terrain fertile pour un dialogue constructif, et une occasion de mieux comprendre les réalités du secteur privé. \n\nLes OSC ont également un rôle important à jouer dans la promotion de l’Action Collective en Afrique de l'Ouest. Elles doivent continuer à initier, faciliter et s'engager dans des initiatives d'Action Collective pour aider à sensibiliser et construire des ponts entre différentes parties prenantes. Leur présence apporte souvent transparence et crédibilité aux initiatives.\nLes résultats présentés dans ce Policy Brief sont issus d’échanges avec des OSC basées au Bénin (Social Watch Bénin), au Ghana (Ghana Integrity Initiative), en Côte d'Ivoire (Le Réseau des jeunes leaders pour l’intégrité) et au Togo (L’Alliance nationale des consommateurs et de l’environnement). Il vise à relater les défis et les opportunités que représente l'Action Collective dans la région. \n\nMalgré les différents contextes dans lesquels elles opèrent, ces organisations sont unies sur un point : lutter collectivement contre la corruption en faisant entendre la voix du secteur privé – élément crucial pour une croissance économique durable. \n\n### About this Policy Brief\n\nCette publication fait partie de la série des *Policy Briefs* du Basel Institute on Governance, ISSN 2624-9669.

Corruption, most often bribery, is the currency that works to cement and nurture those networks.\n\nThis Policy Brief is based on that research and a series of in-depth interviews with Collective Action practitioners working in Africa, Eastern Europe and Latin America. The goal is to extract insights from what we have learned about the networks that fuel corruption and discuss implications for anti-corruption Collective Action initiatives. \n\n## About this Policy Brief\n\nThis publication is part of the Basel Institute on Governance Policy Brief series, ISSN 2624-9669.\n\nIt is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).
