Like a game of snakes and ladders, some interests can gain considerable influence on public policy-making processes, whilst others lose out. This has inevitable impacts on the outcome of public policies and people’s lives.

The Coalition welcomes stakeholders from government, business, academia and civil society working on integrity related to decision-making. It is designed to serve as an inclusive and non-discriminatory platform to constructively examine the tools and effects of vested interests’ influence on public policy. All coalition members have the opportunity to provide inputs, and the OECD promotes a balance of views, interests, and opinions by involving entities with different viewpoints.

Your chance to contribute to integrity in public decision-making

Are you a Member of Parliament or lobbyist? We’d like to hear from you. Contribute to the OECD’s lobbying monitoring report by sharing your views and insights on lobbying: complete the OECD’s online survey

In 2020, the OECD will publish a report monitoring the Recommendation on Principles for Transparency and Integrity in Lobbying (2010), and needs your support to inform it by insights from lawmakers and lobbyists.

The survey will take about 10 minutes to complete and all responses will be anonymous. If you wish so, you will be acknowledged in the report and invited to take part in the launching event.
