A toolbox to prevent, detect and report corruption
I ACT supports the operationalisation of international standards including the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and related instruments through developing dialogues, tools and activities with a specific focus on collective action, knowledge creation and capacity building:
1. Collective Action: A Multistakeholder Community
At the centre of the toolbox is the I ACT Community, composed of C-suite leaders, experts from civil society and government officials that inform, catalyse and implement the I ACT tools. Members of the community have expressed an interest and need for a collective action to promote trust and integrity in the infrastructure sector.
Meetings

2. Knowledge Creation: A Practical Guidebook
Drawing upon a rich evidence base, OECD Instruments, best practices, and insights from the I ACT community, the OECD is developing a Practical Guidebook that synthesises international best practices and outlines practical steps to improve corruption prevention and detection strategies across infrastructure projects value chain.
3. Capacity Building: Trainings
The OECD has developed a training that offers a unique opportunity for infrastructure project owners and contracting authorities to deepen the understanding of anti-corruption prevention and detection measures across the project life cycle. By engaging with global good practices and interactive learning experiences, participants will be equipped to proactively address corruption risks and enhance transparency in infrastructure projects.
