There has been a deluge of corruption-related news and scandals around the world this year.<\/p>\n

The President of Guatemala has\u00a0expelled a key UN anti-corruption body<\/a>\u00a0from the country and\u00a0Romania\u2019s anti-corruption chief has stepped down<\/a>\u00a0just as the country is taking over the Presidency of the EU. Meanwhile, Japan\u2019s Olympic Chief is facing\u00a0allegations of bribery<\/a>\u00a0over Tokyo\u2019s bid to host the 2020 games; and the\u00a0Danske Bank money-laundering probe<\/a>\u00a0continues to deepen.<\/p>\n

This is not filling global youth with hope for the future. A\u00a0survey<\/a><\/u>\u00a0we carried out through the\u00a0Accountability Lab<\/a>\u00a0with the World Economic Forum indicated that young people continue to name corruption as the biggest challenge they face. And with good reason- corruption has a high cost for society and for the overall economy. It undermines public funds that should pay for education, healthcare and other basic services, sorely needed in those countries most affected by corruption. Businesses and individuals- mostly the poor- pay more than $1 trillion in bribes every year, which undermines trust, exacerbates inequalities and severs the social contract.<\/p>\n

On the surface, it is easy to get depressed. But there are plenty of reasons to believe that 2019 will be the year young people turn the tide against this lack of integrity and accountability. Why? Because a new generation of change-makers is now putting anti-corruption and accountability firmly at the center of their understanding of global leadership- across business, politics, media and civil society. We need to lift up these heroes and celebrate their work in every way possible.<\/p>\n

In business, now- more than ever-\u00a0young consumers prefer to work and shop at businesses that drive social good<\/a>. CEOs understand this- the likes of David Cruickshank at Deloitte and\u00a0Paul Pollman<\/a>, formerly of Unilever, are speaking out strongly on issues of ethical business. At a recent\u00a0WEF Partnering Against Corruption (PACI)<\/a>\u00a0meeting, including many leading global corporations, there was a clear consensus on the idea that values-based organizations are not just better for the world but also more profitable in the long-term.<\/p>\n

In government, there is now a new generation of politicians and bureaucrats emerging who are pushing for more inclusive, transparent decision-making. For example, Syed Saddiq the new 27 year-old Youth and Sports Minister in Malaysia,\u00a0has not shied away<\/a>\u00a0from calling out the kleptocratic behavior of elites; while the 32 year-old Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry in Botswana, Bogolo Kenewendo, is pushing back against\u00a0unfair business practices<\/a>. During our recent global Integrity Idol campaign- to \u201cname and fame\u201d honest bureaucrats- we found hundreds of young, honest civil servants doing everything from\u00a0fighting corruption in the police<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0ensuring fair justice at the local level<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the media, the ability of youth activists to set a national and global accountability agenda is rapidly growing. Young people are creating news checking sites\u00a0combating fake news<\/a>;\u00a0bloggers in countries like Nigeria<\/a>\u00a0are pushing for decision-making based on openness and honesty; and incredibly\u00a0brave investigative journalists<\/a>\u00a0are taking on corrupt regimes and criminal networks. The proliferation of social media has made it harder for those in power to listen only to dishonest elites. New, tech-savvy young media-makers have shown that they won\u2019t be silenced or strong-armed by the corrupt- and are building a collective voice for change.<\/p>\n

Finally, a new wave of civic activists is pushing back against the old ways of fighting corruption- and showing real progress. These new groups are nimble and collaborative, not bureaucratic and competitive- and draw on lessons from the movement-building of the past, theories of strategic non-violent action and ethnographic approaches within specific contexts. Networks like\u00a0Libera<\/a>\u00a0are taking on the mafia and \u201cspreading a culture of legality\u201d in Italy; groups like\u00a0Al Bawsala<\/a>\u00a0are bringing transparency to decision-making in Tunisia; and coalitions like\u00a0Africans Rising<\/a>\u00a0are effectively supporting people-powered action everywhere from Nigeria to Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

A big part of what these individuals and organizations are doing across business, government, civil society and media is shifting norms. We know that rules and compliance are not enough- what is needed is for a new generation of change-makers to push collectively for different, more inclusive and accountability decision-making. This means changing incentives- not ignoring the \u201cnaming and shaming\u201d approach but flipping it and working to support the \u201cnaming and faming\u201d of the people working with integrity. Putting the do-gooders in front of cameras, as well as putting the wrong-doer behind bars, perhaps. That is what we are doing with\u00a0Integrity Idol<\/a>\u2013 a global campaign to find, celebrate and support honest government officials. We are catching people within government doing the right thing and supporting them publicly to change incentives. This is a powerful way to shift the way decisions are made; and is applicable not just to government but to every other sector too.<\/p>\n

Corruption remains arguably the largest impediment to global economic and political progress, but the good news is there is a new generation that is finding creative ways to collectively push back against it. Let\u2019s celebrate them and reinforce this dynamic. Join us at the\u00a0OECD Global Anti-Corruption and Integrity Forum on March 20th<\/sup>\u00a0at 11.30am<\/a>\u00a0to learn more!<\/p>\n
