Regional Anti-Corruption Platform for the Caribbean

Thematic priorities

Stronger anti-corruption legal and institutional frameworks
Transparency and accountability in public procurement and in the private sector
Reporting channels and whistle-blower protection
Investigation and prosecution of corruption and money-laundering

The Regional Anti-Corruption Platform for the Caribbean brings together public officials across the region, facilitating the sharing of experiences to accelerate the implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption and regional instruments such as the Inter-American Convention against Corruption (IACAC).

The platform was launched in October 2023 at a regional conference in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, that resulted in the adoption of a three-year road map as a guiding framework to advance anti-corruption efforts in the region. Civil society and the private sector were involved in the discussions that led to the road map’s development.
