About the Network

The Anti-Corruption Network was established in 1998. The main objective of the ACN is to support its member countries in their fight against corruption by providing a regional forum for the promotion of anti-corruption activities, exchange of information, elaboration of best practices and donor coordination.

The ACN includes countries from Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia. The OECD member states are also taking part in the ACN activities. The main counterparts of the ACN are the national governments and anti-corruption authorities of the participating countries. Civil society, business associations, international organisations and international financial institutions (IFIs) are also taking an active part in the ACN.

The ACN is one of the outreach programmes of the OECD Working Group on Bribery. The ACN Secretariat is based at the Anti-Corruption Division of the OECD Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs, at the OECD Headquarters in Paris.

Steering Group

To guide the Secretariat, the ACN Steering Group was established in January 1999. The Steering Group brings together representatives of the participating countries, OECD countries, international organisations and IFIs. The Steering Group guides the Secretariat in developing, implementing, and assessing the ACN work programme. The most recent meeting of the Steering Group took place in June 2008, in Tbilisi, Georgia.
