Civil society guide: UNCAC and the private sector

15 March 2013

Transparency International (TI) has produced this practical guidance booklet to assist civil society organisations (CSOs) in engaging with companies to promote implementation and inclusive monitoring the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) in their local context. The idea for the guide arose out of a joint training for CSOs on UNCAC and its review process co-organised by TI and UNODC. This guide aims to assist CSOs engagement with companies, whether you are experienced or novices in such partnerships. It includes a summary of the UNCAC provisions which apply to companies, explains why companies should have an interest in implementing the Convention, and provides pointers on strategies CSOs can use to work with businesses on promoting UNCAC in their respective countries.
