“Promoting good governance and fighting corruption: The example of natural resource management”

Brookings event with Norm Eisen and others on Sept 29:

Today’s global marketplace provides fertile ground for commerce, but also presents corruption risks which can be dangerous and costly. In 2014, the World Economic Forum estimated that the cost of corruption amounted to more than 5% of global GDP and led to a 10% increase in the cost of doing business on average. Around the world, corporations, governments and NGO’s are developing partnerships to combat corruption and increase business transparency. Looking at the specific case of natural resource management and development, what are roadblocks to good governance and how can all the sectors of society work together to overcome them?

On September 29, Governance Studies at Brookings will host a forum to address these issues and offer recommendations for future actions. A panel of experts will discuss best practices and highlight the work of transparency and other initiatives that jointly engage all parts of society in this arena.

After the session, panelists will take audience questions.
