Anti-Corruption and Open Government in the COVID-19 Pandemic:
Recommendations for Action

Wednesday, October 28
10:00 AM (EDT)

Register ([link removed])
The COVID-19 pandemic gives rise to significant corruption risks. Governments have mobilized massive resources to respond to the health and economic crises. At the same time, many governments have enacted emergency procurement procedures and suspended corruption prevention and enforcement mechanisms. Each of these measures increases risk for corruption and waste. This corruption risk is a rule of law problem in itself. It also compromises the pandemic response, undermining much-needed trust in public institutions, squandering supplies and resources, and impeding their flow to those in need.

The World Justice Challenge 2021: ([link removed]) Advancing the Rule of Law in a Time of Crisis ([link removed]) seeks to identify, recognize, and promote good anti-corruption and open government practices and high-impact projects and policies that protect and advance the rule of law in this time of unprecedented crisis.

Co-sponsored by World Justice Challenge thematic partners the Open Government Partnership and the OECD, this discussion will focus on key anti-corruption and open government problems raised and exacerbated by the pandemic and discuss recommendations for actions needed to address the crisis' underlying challenges, support an effective recovery process, and build back better rule-of-law-based societies.
