Anti-Corruption Collective Action Awards 2022
Celebrating inspiring and outstanding anti-corruption Collective Action initiatives
Congratulations to the winners of the inaugural Anti-Corruption Collective Action Awards 2022.
In the category of Outstanding Achievement in Collective Action 2022, the award goes to the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network’s Collective Action initiative in Nigeria in collaboration with the Convention on Business Integrity (cbi). Since 2019, the initiative has worked to keep seafarers calling at Nigerian ports safe from corrupt demands.
Their installation of the world’s first real-time incident reporting tool and connected local HelpDesk has contributed significantly to reducing corrupt demands since its inauguration.
In the category of Inspirational Newcomer, the award goes to the Global Compact Network Ukraine Collective Action Initiative for its inspiring efforts to increase transparency in the Ukrainian business context. The initiative’s strategy for success covers private-public partnerships, tailored business advice for the local business context and innovative formats of e-learning. It has clear potential to develop into a sustainable and successful anti-corruption Collective Action initiative, and to encourage others to follow suit.
Congratulations and thanks
We wholeheartedly congratulate the winners and thank all 37 nominated initiatives for their participation and their outstanding engagement. Our jury was overwhelmed by the strength and variety of the nominated initiatives – a great boost to efforts to demonstrate the power of Collective Action in the fight against corruption.
