Join us for a webinar with policy experts to reflect on the role of USAID in anti-corruption efforts in Eastern Europe.
USAID has been working on anti-corruption issues for more than 20 years. CSIS published a paper in April of 2020 suggesting that given the Great Power Competition, the United States needs to "get back at the front of the anti-corruption parade" and lead on these issues. Globally corruption is a vote-moving issue. There are enormous costs to corruption, and it holds back private investment and jobs. Ultimately, civil society, religious institutions, the private sector, and governments need to create coalitions to defeat corruption. USAID is a catalytic funder, a convenor, a talent developer, and a policy partner to help make these sorts of changes and coalitions happen. In line with USAID's longstanding anti-corruption work in Eastern Europe, USAID will be launching its new US-Albania Transparency Academy at this event.
This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
