The project aims to enable African business networks to implement anti-corruption initiatives and good governance practices.

Business networks and individual businesses seldom have the appropriate expertise to implement internationally developed anti-corruption and good governance guidelines, standards and initiatives, and are often unaware of their existence. Other challenges in the anti-corruption field relate to making impacts felt at the ground level, and creating platforms for the private and public sectors to engage on corruption challenges and Collective Action solutions.

The aim of this project by the UN Global Compact and Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) was to develop anti-corruption guidelines for management schools. The Guidelines offer business schools academic modules to address transparency, ethics and anti-corruption. Topics include:

The aim of the project is to use Collective Action to improve corporate governance and reduce corruption in the Nigerian business environment.

The project aimed to level the playing field by shaping and influencing the behaviours of approximately 16,000 undergraduate and graduate students and 3,500 executives in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union over five years.

The initiative will work to improve legal compliance within Chinese companies, make recommendations to improve compliance policy issued by governmental departments, and bring leaders from these groups into closer communication with one another.

Led by the Association de la Construction du Québec (ACQ), this initiative is designed to help construction companies in Quebec to demonstrate their ethical business practices and integrity, while being part of an anti-corruption Collective Action initiative.

The Integrity Program was developed taking into account existing models of Collective Action around the world, the specificities of ACQ member construction companies and, finally, the opinions expressed by contractors and the public.

The Alliance for Integrity is a business-driven, multi-stakeholder initiative seeking to promote transparency and integrity in the private sector. To achieve this goal, it fosters collective action of all relevant actors from the private sector, the public sector and civil society.

The Alliance for Integrity is a platform that offers practical solutions to strengthen the compliance capacities of companies and their supply chains. In addition, the initiative contributes to the improvement of framework conditions by fostering dialogue between the public and private sectors.

In efforts to further engage Angolan companies in Collective Action, the Centre for Ethics in Angola (CEA), along with the Principles of Ethical Business in Angola, were launched in 2013.

The Centre seeks to provide assistance to the Angolan public and private sector in establishing ethics management within their organisations, and the accompanying Principles will serve as important tool to enhance competitiveness and better market access opportunities for Angolan firms, through demonstrating commitment to ethical business practices.

This initiative provides an opportunity to exchange information on best practices in the area of ethical business practices and global trends among participants in the defence and aerospace industry.

This Collective Action project focuses on building alliances of like-minded business and public officials with the aim of creating a platform for collaboration and capacity building. The goal: mobilization of stakeholders in business and government through the use of policy advocacy, seminars, workshops and training programmes to create awareness and buy-in of economic and policy actors in creating a sustainable business environment through anti-corruption activities.

The initiative has thus far achieved several accomplishments, including:
