Anticorruption for Development Global Forum: Restoring Trust

Corruption is a major impediment to development as it diverts resources from more productive uses and negatively affects shared prosperity by disproportionally benefiting those in power. Aware of the high societal and environmental costs of corruption, the World Bank has reaffirmed its commitment to anticorruption as a development priority and seeks to foster partnerships with other stakeholders who are working towards better governance and integrity. Join us for the Anticorruption for Development Global Forum, which will bring together about 150 partners, leaders, and practitioners from government, private enterprise, academia, civil society, foundations, and other international development organizations working in areas of anticorruption and integrity. The first plenary will set the stage for the whole forum by emphasizing the importance of making meaningful progress in reducing corruption to promote growth, trust, and resilience to crisis. The high-level session will focus on how anticorruption can help to establish the foundations for sustainable and resilient growth.
