Alliance for Integrity in Governance is founded to create a focus for thinking and action on the relationship between integrity systems and the quality of governance and development.
Background
Recent happens in all strata of society shows a worrying decline in and erosion of the integrity systems across all levels of governance (in the public and private sectors). The formal adoption of democratic institutions like periodic elections, freedom of information (in some cases) has not had concomitant impact on the governance settings.
Despite the adoption of well-worded core values, corporate governance is continually breached because of weak integrity systems.
The global crisis can be traced to the weakening of the integrity systems, which in turn compromised the fabrics of regulation with dire consequences.
Aims
AIG’s main aim is to work for strengthening the integrity systems to improve the governance settings in both the private and public sectors.
It plans to achieve its aim by working to:
* Improve understanding of integrity systems and contribute to enhancing practice
* Building a groundswell of public opinion against breaches of the integrity systems
Activities
Networking: AIG would primarily use networking and campaigns to achieve it aims. It would build a critical mass of supporters from the public, private and voluntary sectors.
AIG will work with network members to share and reflect on emerging issues on integrity in governance and, plan best options for intervention.
Action Research: Realising the importance of research in advocacy and campaigns, AIG would undertake periodic action oriented research on the subject. This is primarily to improve the quality of its arguments.
