Integrity Pacts are a tool developed by Transparency International to facilitate greater civil society oversight of public procurement processes and thereby increase transparency and reduce opportunities for corruption. After two decades of experience, this report reviews the experiences of working with this tool as a learning process in order to help further improve and strengthen the tool and broaden its application into the future.

This short report provides a framework for leveraging synergies between researchers in the field of social network analysis (SNA) and practitioners in the field of intelligence and law enforcement against illegal wildlife trade (IWT). The synergies between theory and practice are potentially great yet largely unexplored.

An international workshop held at Loughborough University on 30th March 2005 provided a venue to further discuss concrete steps for implementing a research project on Integrity Pacts. 

Specifically, the objectives of the workshop were:

This article sets out the experience of Transparency International (TI) in fighting corruption worldwide in the water sector. It focuses on identifying the sources of corruption in the sector and the available toolkits (best practice) for combating it.

Case studies from Cambodia, Japan, Colombia and Pakistan are used to illustrate some of the major points.

This 2016 OECD study covers:

PUBLIC PROCUREMENT: A HIGH-RISK AREA FOR CORRUPTION  

• Public procurement: A EUR 4.2 trillion business
• Corruption, the bane of public procurement
• The high cost of corruption in public procurement
• A myriad of integrity risks along the public procurement cycle

A PhD thesis by Mike Balthazar Beke looking at understanding the effect of the Integrity Pact as an anticorruption collective action tool for public procurement through the EU funds and the role of civil society organisations, businesses and contracting authorities in preventing corruption through collective action. 

Notes for rapporteurs from a workshop on Thursday 16 November 2006 at the 12th International Anti-Corruption Conference (IACC).

The member countries of the ADB/OECD Anti-Corruption Initiative for Asia and the Pacific attach high priority to the fight against corruption in public procurement. In July 2004, member countries of the Initiative decided to dedicate the Initiative’s first thematic review to curbing corruption in public procurement.

This report provides a first iteration of preliminary insights from the social network analysis of transnational wildlife trafficking networks operating along the East Africa – Southeast Asia trading chain.
