Partnering Against Corruption Initiative Annual Report 2012

The work of the Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI) is guided by two objectives: to help set the global anti-corruption  agenda at a strategic policy level, and to drive change in key  markets through targeted initiatives and partnerships.In 2012, PACI’s engagement with G20 governments – through the  B20 – reached new heights with the presentation to the G20  leaders meeting in Los Cabos of a set of business  recommendations. The B20 proposals, which were reflected in the  Leaders’ Declaration, were the result of a year-long process of  dialogue and consultation with the G20 Anti-Corruption Working  Group. The decision by Russia to include “growth through trust and  transparency” (with a focus on fighting corruption) as one of the  core themes of its G20 Presidency in 2013 is a heartening  recognition of the work achieved by the B20 to advance the  strategic importance of transparency and integrity issues on the  global governance agenda.
