Ethics Institute of South Africa (EthicSA)
Capacitating African business networks to implement global anti-corruption initiatives and good practices
| Country of implementation: | Angola, South Africa |
| Duration (in years): | 5 years |
| Funding volume in US-Dollar (million): | 1.5 M |
| Registered in: | South Africa |
Project Summary
The project aims to capacitate African business networks with the implementation of anti-corruption initiatives and good governance practices. The project will be implemented in Angola and in South Africa (at municipal level).
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 ground level, and creating platforms for the private and public sectors to engage on corruption challenges and Collective Action solutions.
This project will attempt to address these challenges and to build local capacity in two countries. In Angola the focus will be on Collective Action initiatives in the private sector with the aim of enhancing ethical business practices and good governance standards. This should improve the investment climate and enhance the ease of doing business in Angola.
In South Africa the project will aim to reduce corruption on the ground level, by engaging with municipalities and businesses at the local level to implement collective projects that will impact positively on the ethical business climate and municipal service delivery.
