Launched in 2000 as the Integrity Award, and renamed in 2016, the Anti-Corruption Award honours remarkable individuals and organisations worldwide, including journalists, public prosecutors, government officials and civil society leaders.
Winners are a source of inspiration to the anti-corruption movement because their actions echo a common message: that corruption can be challenged.
