Sometimes it seems like high-level support for the fight against corruption and crime is being turned on its head. That includes in Peru, a close partner country of the Basel Institute on Governance for more than a decade.

While most of the world celebrates International Anti-Corruption Day on 9 December, Peru has kickstarted a new tradition: an entire week dedicated to integrity, transparency and anti-corruption events and celebrations.

El Basel Institute on Governance, como entidad internacional dedicada a promover la buena gobernanza y a combatir la corrupción, ha seguido de cerca los avances legislativos en materia de recuperación de activos en el Perú y en América Latina.

How to promote transparency in controls and inspections of timber products? Why are standardised processes and procedures key to preventing corruption in forest management? How to create awareness among forestry staff as well as local and Indigenous communities, encouraging them to play an active role in corruption prevention?
