OECD Global Forum on Public Governance
Building a Cleaner World: Tools and Good Practices for Fostering a Culture of Integrity
www.oecd.org/governance/globalforum/Integrity2009
Media Advisory
Governments are bailing out banks, launching massive stimulus programmes, and giving aid to developing countries in response to the economic and financial crisis. But there are governance and corruption risks. Governments must ensure that every penny counts and is used effectively.
Global Forum participants representing governments, business and trade unions, and civil society from more than 50 countries will discuss how to build a cleaner and more ethical market economy. The Forum will map risks of corruption, particularly related to public procurement, lobbying and conflict of interest.
When
Monday 4 May from 9:30 - 11:15
Who
The Secretary-General of the OECD, Angel Gurría, and Siim Kallas, EC Commissioner for Administrative Affairs, Audit and Anti-fraud will outline the main challenges and strategies for greater government integrity, transparency and accountability.
Interviews with other Forum participants can be arranged upon request. These include ministers or deputy-ministers from Chile, Morocco, the Palestinian National Authority, Brazil, Egypt and Syria as well as representatives from most OECD countries, including integrity commissioners.
