Our online learning platform, Basel LEARN, offers a collection of free self-paced eLearning courses. They are developed to help law enforcement, anti-money laundering and compliance professionals gain new skills to fight financial crime.

The interactive modules help you to “learn by doing” – for example, by completing tasks in a simulated investigation. After successfully completing a course, you will be awarded a Certificate of Completion.

The only international anti-corruption Collective Action Conference is back!

Are you working on corruption prevention in the private sector, government, civil society or academia?

Then join us for the sixth edition of this biannual landmark event on 9–10 June in Basel, Switzerland.

Over one and a half days of expert sessions, fireside chats and networking, we’ll bring together practitioners from around the world to build and strengthen communities of practice in Collective Action.

Women can play a crucial role in the fight against corruption. This is the conviction that underpins the work of SPAK Indonesia, the organisation awarded The Gretta Fenner Outstanding Achievement in Collective Action at the International Collective Action Awards 2025.

But why women, specifically? Because of their central role in transmitting moral and ethical values within their families and communities, shaping society from the inside.

The 6th International Collective Action Conference (ICAC 2026) will take place on 9–10 June 2026 in Basel, Switzerland.

Entitled “Business Integrity in Motion” the conference will focus on anti-corruption Collective Action as a driver for collaboration and building trust for a more resilient world.

This international conference will welcome over 150 representatives from business, government, international organisations, civil society and academia to advance Collective Action as a practical tool to mitigate corruption risks and enhance integrity frameworks.

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.

Corruption is not simply about individual misconduct. It is a networked phenomenon that arises from entrenched social, economic and political interactions. It is orchestrated through coordination between groups and clusters of individuals.

This Working Paper explores the networked nature of corruption and the opportunities this presents for anti-corruption efforts. The aim is to understand how shifting the unit of analysis from individuals to networks helps to understand the persistence and resilience of corruption, while opening up new anti-corruption perspectives.

This report analyses the approaches of the previous five B20 presidencies to anti-corruption Collective Action. It captures lessons learned and provides recommendations for future B20/G20 cycles. It is primarily intended for upcoming B20/G20 presidencies, B20 Integrity & Compliance Task Force members and organisations engaging with the B20/G20.

This paper explores governments’ role in fostering, facilitating and engaging in collective action initiatives to support the private sector in its fight against corruption. Building on the OECD Anti-Bribery Recommendation, the first international standard to recommend collective action as a tool to fight foreign bribery, the paper examines when, how and for what purposes governments participate in such initiatives.
