Private Sector Anti-Corruption Workshops and Code of Conduct in the DRC

November 18, 2011

The Center for Sustainable Economies (CSE) project aims to promote and institutionalize anti-corruption strategies that enhance prospects for people in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Working with representatives from the business sector has helped develop a code of conduct in the DRC to support anti-corruption measures.

In collaboration with the African Institute for Corporate Citizenship (AICC) and Ethics South Africa, this project resulted in a robust set of anti-corruption guidelines for businesses operating in the DRC.

Two conferences, in 2010 and 2011 in the DRC, refined and finalized the draft code. This code is a country-owned tool for promoting good governance and accountability in the DRC and for developing tools for cultivating a good investment climate through private sector platforms.
