The Anti-Corruption Fund took part in the Partnerships for Anticorruption Global Forum 2025, hosted by the World Bank Group
Lora Georgieva from the ACF team participated as a panelist in the Partnerships for Anticorruption Global Forum 2025 held on April 8-9, 2025, in Washington, United States.
The Forum was hosted by the World Bank Group and co-hosted by Transparency International, the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office from the UK (FCDO), the Government of Sweden, the Government of Norway, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Chandler Foundation, and the Open Government Partnership.
The Forum included panel discussions on the accountability of institutions and the rule of law, the transparency of beneficial owners, the fight against illicit financial flows, public procurement systems, and private partnerships.
Lora Georgieva participated in the panel Civil Society: Partnering with Civil Society Organizations to Enhance Governance and Combat Corruption
The panelists agreed that effective counteraction of corruption requires a joint effort by state institutions such as the prosecutor’s office, police, and anti-corruption commissions on the one hand, and civil society organizations on the other.
The Forum featured a keynote address by Daron Acemoglu, Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and 2024 Nobel Laureate, who stated, “Democracy cannot survive if a country suffers endemic corruption and the society accepts it..”
See the full program of the Forum and video recordings of the lectures and discussions.
