Governance & Integrity Anti-Corruption Evidence

The RIFF dataset launch: 30-years of financial secrecy and AML reform trends
2024-12-11 08:00 - 09:00 (Europe/London)
Join us for the launch of the groundbreaking Regulation of Illicit Financial Flows (RIFF) dataset.
Join us for the launch of the groundbreaking Regulation of Illicit Financial Flows (RIFF) dataset—the most comprehensive resource to date tracking long-term change in the global IFF regulatory landscape. Developed with support from the GI ACE programme and the Tax Justice Network, the RIFF dataset provides annual data on 23 regulatory indicators across 70 jurisdictions from 1990 to 2020. This session will explore key findings, including trends in anti-money laundering (AML), countering the financing of terrorism (CFT), and beneficial ownership transparency. Discover how international regulatory convergence is reshaping the IFF regulatory landscape in some areas, while key gaps persist in others. Ideal for policymakers, researchers, and civil society organizations aiming to deepen their understanding of efforts to combat illicit financial flows and boost financial transparency.

Tackling Corruption at the Sector Level
2024-11-07 17:00 - 18:00 (Europe/London)
Sector-Based Action Against Corruption: A Guide for Organisations and Professionals is a book by Mark Pyman and Paul Heywood. It sets out their SFRA approach to tackling corruption, encompassing four core elements. First, they argue corruption problems should be tackled at the level of the specific sector (like health, policing, or agriculture). At this level, professionals working in organisations have deep knowledge, extensive operational experience, and expertise that can be used to solve, minimize, or avoid corruption problems in their given setting. Second, they advise you to focus on specific corruption issues, not generalities. Unlike the impossibly complex aim of addressing corruption at the country level, this sector-based model focuses on more manageable manifestations of corruption. The authors provide sector-specific typologies of corruption issues and show how they can be used to understand which ones matter most and why. Third, they set out remediation options, using a two-track matrix combining a high-level framing to encapsulate the more political options with a wide range of detailed measures. Finally, using a range of different ‘lenses,’ they set out how to decide which combinations of broad framings and detailed measures represent the best action to take.

State Capture and Development
2024-10-01 13:00 - 14:00 (Europe/London)
State capture is an extremely harmful variant of corruption. Its distinctive and complex characteristics erode democratic institutions and norms, while concentrating power and influence in the hands of narrow interest groups – in business, politics, or organised crime.
This session explained how the concept has evolved, its mechanisms, and potential recovery strategies. It showcased a new worldwide state capture index which turns conventional measures of corruption upside down and highlights the prevalence of this challenge in high-income countries as well.

GI-ACE Report Launch: Financial Secrets & Shell Companies: Evidence for Anti-Corruption Policies
2023-06-27 17:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | Open Gov Hub, 1100 13th Street NW, Suite 800, Washington, DC, 20005, United States
How can we use data to understand how and where shell companies are used by individuals wishing to hide illicit wealth?

EVENT DESCRIPTION
Join us for the launch of our most recent research report on global shell companies and offshore financial secrecy from the Global Integrity Anti-Corruption Evidence (GI-ACE) programme. The newly generated research uses big data analytics and global mapping to provide an important evidence base for anti-corruption policy-making in the future.
The lead researcher, Daniel Haberly (University of Sussex), will discuss the results of statistical analysis of 36,000 company formations recorded in leaked data from the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), and explain the data mapping of the novel Regulation of Illicit Financial Flows (RIFF) dataset that visualized the global spread of regulations to counter financial secrecy and money laundering.
This research provides the most detailed evidence base to date for anti-corruption policy related to offshore financial secrecy and shell companies. The discussion will explore the main research findings in regards to Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), the impact of the global Anti-Money Laundering (AML) system and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards. It will also focus on urgently needed reforms to combat transnational corruption, specifically publicly available beneficial ownership registers and removing restrictive banking secrecy measures. It builds on an existing GI-ACE project on offshore financial secrecy reform, also led by Daniel Haberly.
The discussion will be moderated by Paul Heywood (Programme Director, GI-ACE) and commented on by Erica Hanichak (Government Affairs Director, FACT Coalition) who will bring a U.S. perspective on the research findings.
To join in person (at the Open Gov Hub) or online (on Zoom), please sign up here.

He is a member ofthe Board of Trustees of Transparency International UK, and also TI’s International Council.

ABOUT GI-ACE
The Global Integrity Anti-Corruption Evidence (GI-ACE) programme, funded by UK’s FCDO, supports research projects around the world that generate actionable evidence on concrete corruption issues that policymakers, practitioners, and advocates can use to design and implement more effective anti-corruption initiatives.
GI-ACE moves away from national-level top-down technical and regulatory approaches and instead prioritizes operationally relevant, problem-driven, rigorous, and actionable research. The programme investigates anti–corruption, focuses on real-world problems (not just concepts or theory); tackles the politics of anti-corruption (as well as the technical barriers); and seeks to demonstrate impact (by measuring reduced corruption).
Since 2018, GI-ACE has supported 19 research projects, which produced 85+ publications – with the next phase of up to 9 projects kicking off later this year.

Procurement Reform: Corruption risks, Emergencies & Effective Service Delivery
2022-11-01 09:00 - 10:00 (Africa/Algiers)
The GI-ACE programme has a number of projects looking at corruption in public procurement, government responses to crises, and how civil society can contribute to the contract monitoring processes that drive transparency. In November, researchers from across GI-ACE project teams shared the stage with Global Integrity’s COVID-19 Transparency and Accountability Project (CTAP) team to discuss corruption risks in vulnerable sectors at the Open Government Partnership Africa/Middle East regional meeting in Marrakech.
Speakers included GI-ACE researcher and Professor at Stellenbosch University, Sope Williams, longtime GI-ACE partners Edwin Muhumuza at Open Contracting Partnership, and Gilbert Sendugwa at the Africa Freedom of Information Centre, as well as Global Integrity CTAP lead, Jorge Florez. The panel was moderated by GI-ACE Communications Lead, Ambika Samarthya-Howard. The conversation highlighted recent research and case studies on locally-led and effective solutions in regards to public procurement and anti-corruption.
For some background on Gilbert and Edwin’s work with GI-ACE, check out this video that describes their efforts to apply GI-ACE research in the development of practical tools to hold governments and funders to account.

Commodities and Corruption
2022-10-18 16:00 - 17:00 (Europe/London) | Wallacespace, Clerkenwell Green, London, United Kingdom
Video recording here

The commodity trading sector has historically been vulnerable to multiple forms of corruption, including bribery, mispricing, embezzlement, and trade-based money laundering. Today, these longstanding risks are compounded by the fragmentation of the global trading system in an era of rising populism, and by global shocks to commodity markets like climate change and the war in Ukraine.
As part of the Global Integrity Anti-Corruption Evidence (GI-ACE) Programme, an experienced team of anti-corruption researchers have analysed the emerging corruption risks surrounding global trade in food, energy and cryptocurrencies to identify opportunities for future research and policy intervention in a changing landscape of global trade. This panel will share their findings, and open a discussion on trade, corruption and commodities with researchers, academics, and key stakeholders in government and civil society.
The event will be held from 16.00 to 18.00 BST on October 18 at 18 Clerkenwell Green, London. The panel discussion will last from 16.00 -17.00, and will be followed by a reception with light refreshments from 17.00 – 18.00.
Please register early because seating is limited to 40 people.

GI-ACE Report Launch: Curbing IFFs and the Enablers of Corruption
2022-10-13 16:30 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Open Gov Hub, 1100 13th Street NW, Suite 800, Washington, DC, 20005, United States

In a 2020 report by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), it was estimated that annual outflows of illicit finance from sub-Saharan Africa were around USD $88.6 billion – almost double of total foreign aid flowing into Africa. Most of that ends up in countries in the global north facilitated by a group of professionals collectively known as “the enablers”.
Who is behind it and how can this be mitigated? Join this event for an insightful discussion presenting the latest research on this topic, commissioned by GI-ACE and funded by FCDO.
This event will launch a new GI-ACE research report on global finance and the enablers of corruption. Noah Arshinoff will be joined by Jane Humphreys, one of two co-authors for a conversation moderated by Lakshmi Kumar (Policy Director, Global Financial Integrity). The discussion will be held live at the Open Gov Hub in Washington, D.C. on October 13th at 4pm, with an online option to join and a happy hour to follow.
The report examines the evidence of the involvement of various enabler sectors in IFFs and the tools that have been used to thwart them. It also examines whether these tools have been effective and where gaps in research remain that need to be addressed in order to drive actionable policy responses.
The authors draw on existing evidence of regulatory frameworks, tools, and novel instruments used to deter various enablers (e.g. lawyers, bankers, accountants, educational institutions – among others) from contributing to illicit financial flows around the world.

Do All Drug Routes Lead to Violence?: Trafficking in Central Asia
2022-09-16 10:00 - 11:00 (America/New_York) | Open Gov Hub, 1100 13th Street NW, Suite 800, Washington, DC, 20005, United States

Join us for a conversation on the relationship between state structures and organised crime in developing states on 16 September at 10:00 EDT, co-hosted by SOC-ACE, a research programme funded by UK AID.
In this event, researchers Dr. Erica Marat and Dr. Gulzat Botoeva will be joined by Alexei Trochev and Gavin Slade to examine the links between illegal drug trafficking, violence, and corruption in Central Asia.
The Central Asian region is a major route for the trafficking of drugs from Afghanistan to Russia and Europe. Of the nearly 300 tonnes of heroin produced in Afghanistan (UNODC, 2021), up to 90 tonnes of heroin pass through the countries of Central Asia annually. The region is also increasingly becoming both a transit zone and producer of synthetic drugs.
The researchers argue that drug trafficking is highly organised with major criminal and state actors participating, and with rarely visible but periodic changes occurring among the involved parties. Their analysis of violence and policing dynamics in the region shows how patterns of organised crime depend on state effectiveness, the state protection of trafficking, and the presence of competition between traffickers. Illicit drugs flow through the region with the help of the security sectors and political elites, who share a long history of protecting and participating in drug trafficking. Criminal violence is spread across the region, especially in urban areas, but the Central Asian states are capable of intercepting and preventing illicit activities.
This research comes at a time of an anticipated increase in drug trafficking from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, and of growing economic uncertainty in the wider region due to the implications of the war in Ukraine. In the policy realm, their research findings can help develop the anti-trafficking strategy in the Central Asian region, including through better understanding of how drug trafficking can be curbed more effectively by identifying the main actors involved in this highly organised criminal process. In the academic realm, other scholars will be able to use these findings to explain state decline, corruption patterns, and the rise of intrastate violence in the region.
The talk will be followed by a Q&A .

Illicit Financial Flows & Russia's Foreign Policy
2022-06-15 09:00 - 10:00 (America/New_York) | Open Gov Hub, 1100 13th Street NW, Suite 800, Washington, DC, 20005, United States
Video recording here

A joint event on ‘Illicit financial flows and Russia’s foreign policy: Frameworks to detangle the dangers’ will be held on 15 June at 14:00 UK time, co-hosted by Global Integrity & the German Marshall Fund of the United States. This hybrid event will be held at Open Gov Hub in Washington DC and online.

In this event, researchers will analyse the intersection between foreign policy objectives and IFFs, with a specific focus on Russia, across three areas:
1) political activities, which blur formal and informal means of diplomacy and influencing to promote Russia-friendly candidates and political parties
2) media activities, which blur truth and falsehood by constructing and disseminating narratives painting Russia and pro-Russia actors in a positive light
3) political violence, which blurs legitimate and illegitimate use of force to secure investment projects, destabilise regions and undermine or eliminate opposition.

How the UK enables the kleptocrats of Eurasia and weakens its own rule of law
2021-12-08 16:00 - 18:00 (Europe/London)
This event launches a Chatham House paper of the same name. It details the laundering of monies and reputations by elites from Eurasia’s kleptocratic states, and the material and reputational damage rendered to the UK’s sovereignty and democracy.

The UK’s financial and professional services have long provided a comfortable home to dirty money. The rapid deregulation and growth of London as a centre for these services from the 1980s coincided with the end of the USSR and the rise of the post-Soviet kleptocracies which today are major sources of customers for British banks, law firms and related sectors.
The full gamut of risks arising from the servicing of these kleptocrats for the UK’s rule of law are only just beginning to be understood. This event will launch a Chatham House paper which details the laundering of monies and reputations by elites from Eurasia’s kleptocratic states, and the substantive and reputational damage to the UK. It will address regulatory and enforcement failures, and suggest how the UK can tackle the problem more effectively through a new UK anti-kleptocracy strategy.

This hybrid event will be held both in person at Chatham House and online. Due to COVID safety measures the number of places available for in-person attendance is limited. To register your interest for in-person attendance please email Anna Morgan. Places will be allocated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.

Unlocking corruption: Frontline perspectives on locally-led solutions
2021-12-08 09:30 - 11:00 (America/New_York) | Open Gov Hub, 1100 13th Street NW, Suite 800, Washington, DC, 20005, United States
Register for this event now!
Corruption persists because it suits the interests of powerful players, and because anti-corruption initiatives often fail to unlock the political-economy drivers that hold corruption in place.
Join the conversation! This session will focus on the value, and limits, of locally-led approaches to unlocking the complex challenge of corruption. The speakers will draw the first-hand experience of civil society and government representatives from around the world. This is a hybrid event held online, with the option to attend at OGH (with refreshments).
We will do this by facilitating a conversation about countries’ policy journeys, the implementation and impact of policy commitments, the value of external assistance, and the role that Global Summits can play in advancing effective and locally-led approaches to tackling corruption.
Our hope is that such conversations – which put the first-hand experience of people on the front lines of the fight against corruption center stage – will increasingly inform policy commitments and investments to address corruption, so that they contribute to effective anti-corruption initiatives, with strong local leadership.

This will be a hybrid event held at the Open Gov Hub in Washington. D.C. & on Zoom.
Organized by Global Integrity and the Open Government Partnership.
Held in English.

SPEAKERS

Introduced and chaired by Dr. Pallavi Roy, SOAS-ACE (Anti-Corruption Evidence Research Programme, SOAS, University of London)
Three brief presentations by anti-corruption champions from Africa, Asia and Latin America
Reflections from a representative of the USAID Anti-Corruption Task Force

PLANNED FORMAT

Mixture of plenary and small group discussions.
Hybrid event, held online – with an in person option.
