04/12/2020: For a future based on trust, truth and transparency đ&#x;™? Hello! Like more than 7,000 participants across the globe, we spent the week at the International Anti-Corruption Conference (IACC) learning from anti-corruption experts, imagining a corruption-free future with artists and grassroot activists, and strengthening our resolve with politicians and civil society leaders. We’ve taken stock of the challenges the world faces in the fight against corruption and measured the progress made. Above all, we’ve forged new alliances and agreed on a collective vision: a 2030 horizon rooted in trust, truth and transparency.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage and mass vaccinations are about to begin, we resolve to make more resilient, more transparent and better-performing health systems the legacy of COVID-19, and to fight to ensure fair and equitable access to the vaccines and a just economic recovery, everywhere, leaving no one behind. We stand in solidarity with the artists, activists, journalists and whistleblowers threatened, jailed or killed around the world for exposing corruption and police violence and for demanding freedom and equality – this week especially with imprisoned Cuban rappers Denis SolĂs GonzĂĄlez and Didier Almagro.
