What is the role of the OECD?
Besides acting as the depository of the International Anti-bribery Convention, the OECD provides the institutional framework for monitoring the Convention. This work is supported by the Anti-Corruption Division located in the Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs. The OECD also pursues regional co-operation notably with Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, the Russian Federation, Latin America and Middle East and North Africa. This OECD regional work promotes internationally accepted anti-corruption and good governance norms. Sharing information on developments and initiatives taken by civil society, trade unions and the private sector is also a key element in an effective campaign to fight bribery and corruption.
