May 2021 - Five years on from the UK hosted International Anti-Corruption Summit, we launched this agenda for action outlines how the UK can both tackle corruption here at home and its role in facilitating corruption abroad. To clean up politics, safeguard our economy, and protect the environment, we call on the government to:

Tackle corruption here in the UK by:

  • Protecting the public purse through fair, effective, and transparent public procurement.

  • Strengthening democracy by cleaning up politics and raising standards in public life.

  • Building trust in government through openness, transparency, and accountability.

Address the UK’s role in facilitating corruption abroad by:

  • Leading by example in the global fight against corruption.

  • Ending the UK’s role as a safe haven for kleptocrats’ dirty money.

  • Driving transparency, accountability, and sustainability in the extractives sector.

We make five key recommendations for each of these topics. Read Fighting Corruption: An Agenda for 2021 below.
