Political Will and Collaboration in the Development and Implementation of Anti-Corruption Strategies
This session will explore Political will as the cornerstone of anti-corruption reform and highlight best practices in fostering collaboration among stakeholders. Without political will, laws remain unenforced, reforms stall and institutions weaken. Leadership and collaboration together create the enabling environment for systemic change.
Key Challenges to be addressed:
- Inconsistent enforcement of laws
- Politicisation or weakening of anti-corruption bodies
- Lack of oversight and transparency mechanisms
- Limited stakeholder engagement (civil society, private sector, media)
- Weak public sector accountability
