Global Integrity Partnership (GIP)

Mission

Strengthen competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises in Cameroon by addressing corruption

Goals

Global Integrity Partnership (GIP) is an initaitve with the mission to strengthen competitiveness in business in the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector by addressing corruption.

GIP provides a platform through which private sector actors that are faced with unfair competition in business can engage in the fight against corruption.

Stakeholders

In 2022, the Cameroon Anti-Corruption Youths Movement (CACYM) brought together key stakeholders in a series of workshops in the ten regions of the country to identify the main forms of corruption, risk factors, underlying causes, and possible responses. From these workshops, GIP emerged.

Activities

In collaboration with the National Anti-Corruption Commission, civil society organisations and entrepreneur associations, the first of ten regional anti-corruption platforms was put in place in the Far North Region in February 2024.

These platforms consisting of 2 to 5 entrepreneurs per region are tasked with awareness raising, promoting public participation in the fight against corruption and receiving complaints to tabled before the National Anti-Corruption Commission.
