What We Do

CIPE has over 40 years of experience working with local partners on the ground to implement democratic and economic reforms that citizens need.

CIPE’s work is unique, advocating for transparency, accountability, fairness, and responsibility in government institutions. This helps develop better environments for business, trade, democracy and governance, while encouraging both private citizens and the private sector to deepen their involvement in the policymaking process.

Improving integrity standards, increasing transparency, and strengthening compliance programs help the business community take collective action to address corruption.
