The United Nations Convention against Corruption and the Sustainable Development Goals recognize that partnerships between government and civil society are critical to successfully fighting corruption. UNCAC’s Preamble states that States parties need “the support and involvement of individuals and groups outside the public sector, such as civil society, non-governmental organizations and community-based organizations, if their efforts in this area are to be effective”.
