Transparency International has developed a Project Anti-Corruption System (PACS) specifically for construction projects. PACS is a modular system which applies a variety of anti-corruption measures to all major project participants throughout their involvement in the project. These measures include independent monitoring, due diligence, contractual commitments, procurement requirements, government commitments, a corporate programme, rules for individuals, training, transparency, reporting and enforcement. PACS targets both bribery and fraud. Click here for details.

Individuals can now report demands for bribes by government officials worldwide through the BRIBEline, the Business Registry for International Bribery and Extortion. Those exposed to bribe demands can report these incidents through a secure, anonymous, multi-lingual, web-based mechanism. By giving individuals and companies a viable place to report bribe solicitation, BRIBEline will help to reinforce the idea that this is an illegitimate activity.
