Fight Against Facilitation Payments Initiative (FAFPI)

Mission

Gather data, gain knowledge and increase awareness on facilitation payments by bringing together key stakeholders in Collective Action

Goals

Fight Against Facilitation Payments Initiative (FAFPI) is a flagship initiative contributing to a world without facilitation payments – where organisations, society and individuals no longer bear the cost of this corrupt practice.

Its mission is to gather data, gain knowledge and increase awareness of facilitation payments by bringing together key stakeholders in Collective Action.

FAFPI's main objectives are:

  1. Knowledge sharing and capacity building: Members exchange experience and best practice on fighting facilitation payments through a collaborative effort among multiple stakeholders.
  2. Data Collection: Members report the demands for facilitation payments they meet and build an aggregated dataset through the FAFPI reporting tool.

Activities

FAFPI members meet regularly to share experience and discuss challenges on relevant issues such as establishing an effective anti-facilitation payment policy, training of employees, collection of data and reporting, risk assessment and due diligence, and communication. From these discussions, FAFPI developed a Blueprint fir eradicating facilitation payments and provides its members with practical tools for implementation of the various elements, such as policy setting, risk assessment, training & awareness.

FAFPI's reporting tool enables to build an aggregated dataset of facilitation payments. The aggregated data from multiple stakeholders provides concrete evidence when engaging with governments and societal stakeholders to fight demands for facilitation payments.
