In this podcast the OECD’s Ingrid Hampe, Lead Policy Analyst, and Santiago Wortman Jofre, Team Lead – Anti-Corruption and Integrity in State-Owned Enterprises , share information about another initiative of the OECD: Compliance Without Borders. A part of the Global Initiative to Galvanize the Private Sector as Partners to Combatting Corruption, and developed in partnership with the US Department of State, it pairs a compliance professional from the private sector with a relevant professional in a state owned enterprises (SOE) for three to six months. During this time the private sector provides hands-on support to help build structures within the SOE to decrease corruption.
The key to success for these partnerships is creating the right match of partners. Each participant fills out a detailed form which captures their expertise or needs. The match is made accordingly, with care to ensure that it is compatible on other levels as well and that there are no potential conflicts of interest.
The program is part of a growing wave of collective action efforts designed to create new strategies for stemming corruption.
Listen in to learn more about this effort, and be sure to take a look at the Compliance Without Borders Handbook.
