The World Bank Group International Corruption Hunters Alliance (ICHA) and Anticorruption for Development Global Program (AC4D) invite you to mark your calendar for the upcoming Partnerships for Anticorruption Global Forum, to be held April 8-9, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
Corruption is a major impediment to development as it diverts resources from more productive uses and negatively affects shared prosperity on a livable planet by disproportionally benefiting those in power.
Aware of corruption's high societal and environmental costs, the World Bank Group has evolved to take on corruption’s transnational dimensions, better tailor approaches to different contexts, and adopt a more integrative approach to strengthen focus on results and outcomes, by mobilizing new knowledge, data, tools, and partnerships. Achieving long-term economic growth and shared prosperity requires us to work together with partners in government, international organizations, private sector, academia, and civil society to address corruption and its corrosive impacts.
ICHA and AC4D will bring together 300 partners, leaders, and practitioners from government, academia, civil society, the private sector, and other international development organizations working on anticorruption and integrity.
The 2025 Global Forum will focus on the importance of partnerships in collectively advancing the fight against corruption.
