Global Program on Anticorruption for Development

Experience has shown that progress in combatting corruption benefits from coordination and collaboration across a diverse spectrum of stakeholders, including civil society organizations, public sector agencies, academia, the private sector, international development organizations, and bilateral development agencies. The World Bank has launched its Anticorruption for Development (AC4D) Global Partnership to foster those goals, and help scale up knowledge and innovation. This page provides information about our partners and the benefits of becoming an AC4D Global Partner.
