Please SHARE to help us call for a new anti-corruption action plan with teeth!
Stopping corruption and promoting economic growth go hand in hand. That’s the message Transparency International wants the G20
to take on board ahead of the summit in Brisbane later this year and
why we are pressing hard for urgent action now on anti-corruption.
It is six years since the heads of the leading and emerging economies
first convened to discuss the state of the global financial system. The
G20 introduced an anti-corruption action plan but it needs to be
toughened up, re-focused and implemented.
That will be our message next week when civil society groups meet to
discuss how they can impact the G20 agenda. In her keynote speech at the
Civil 20 (C20) Summit, Transparency International Chair Huguette
Labelle will press the G20 for more action on the Anti-Corruption Action
Plan because corruption hurts ordinary people and stifles economic
growth.
The challenges our world faces today are great,
but if the world’s leading economies can deliver on the promises made in
recent years, it can have a positive impact not just on their own
economies but on global efforts to promote sustainable economic
progress.”
