Partnerships for Anticorruption Global Forum 2025 Report

Overview & Synopsis

Effective partnerships are essential in the fight against corruption. They bring together the resources, expertise, and influence of various stakeholders to pursue shared goals. By fostering collaboration and amplifying collective strengths, partnerships enable more innovative, resilient, and far-reaching approaches that individual institutions alone cannot achieve, ensuring that efforts to promote integrity and accountability are sustainable and impactful. With this in mind, the World Bank Group Main Campus served as the venue for the Partnerships for Anticorruption Global Forum on April 8-9, 2025, an international event that brought together 411 participants from 97 countries (with 29,186 online visitors viewing the event page 130,144 times), government representatives, development organizations, civil society leaders, private sector innovators, journalists and academics, united by the shared commitment to confront corruption through the cultivation of partnerships. This report captures the Forum’s objectives, themes, and outcomes through summaries of each plenary session and panel discussion. It documents key messages, and highlights the momentum generated through cross-sector collaboration and the formation of new alliances and networks.
