Clean games inside and outside of the stadium (World Cup 2014, Olympics 2016)

Promote transparency and integrity for the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games through Collective Action, social monitoring and control mechanisms

The 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games provide an opportunity to set an example in the fight against corruption and to ensure that resources invested in infrastructure are spent in a transparent and efficient way.

The project’s specific objectives are to raise the:

• Level of transparency in public procurement and expenditure
• Integrity level of public-private sector relations and agreements
• Level of social control over public budget and expenditure

The initiative was led by the Instituto Ethos (Ethos Institute for Business and Social Responsibility) with funding from the Siemens Integrity Initiative.

The main activities include the development of corporate self-regulation mechanisms through the establishment of Sector Agreements; a set of Local Administration Transparency Indicators applicable to the host cities of the events; a Local Administration Transparency Pact; social control mechanisms and instruments providing society with tools to understand and follow public expenditure and contracts and to engage business; and social mobilization for the approval of a set of regulation bills fostering integrity and combating corruption.
