serving as a major source of external finance for developing countries. It helps countries to connect to international markets, mobilize global resources and bridge financing gaps for essential investment projects. It also serves as a vehicle for technology transfer, innovation, competitiveness, local capital investments, employment and tax revenues. International investment leads to improved domestic institutions, technological and human development, increased productivity, poverty reduction and many more positive effects, all of which are crucial for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.</p> <p>However, corruption seriously impedes these efforts. It negatively affects the attraction and retention of foreign investments, fair competition and investment quality, resulting in long-lasting consequences for the economy, environment and society. Corruption compromises the intended benefits of investment and may lead to inflated costs, unproductive debts and decreased quality of life for the public.</p> <p>Challenges are particularly pronounced if countries lack adequate anti-corruption policies, legislation and effective institutional frameworks with sufficient capacity and resources. Challenges can also arise from the absence of proactive investment policies and practices that promote integrity and integrate specific anti-corruption safeguards in foreign direct investment and international investment projects fostering sustainable and inclusive development.</p> <p>States parties to the <a href="/corruption/en/learn/what-is-uncac/overview.html">United Nations Convention against Corruption</a> have recognized the scale and impact of these challenges. For example, the <a href="/corruption/en/learn/what-is-cosp.html">Conference of the States Parties</a> to the United Nations Convention against Corruption adopted a <a href="https://www.unodc.org/documents/treaties/UNCAC/COSP/session8/V2006805e.pdf">resolution</a> at its eighth session that noted the importance of minimizing corruption opportunities and the transfer of proceeds of crime in this context. In addition, the <a href="https://undocs.org/A/RES/S-32/1">political declaration</a>, adopted by the General Assembly during its <a href="/corruption/en/uncac/ungass-2021.html">special session against corruption</a> in 2021, highlighted the positive role of international investments and the importance of minimizing opportunities for all acts of corruption.</p></div> </div> </div><section class="jumbo__container my-0 py-0" data-background-color="transparent" style="min-height:400px;"> <div class="jumbo__background"> <div data-color="#E6EBF2" data-opacity="1" class="background__container "></div> </div> <div class="jumbo__content default py-0"> <div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row marginTop90 marginBottom90"> <div style="" class=" col-lg-12"> <div class="card card-block card-std dropShadow roundedCorners stickerCard interventionsCard " style="background-color:white;color:#064188;height:auto"> <div class=" card-body" style="overflow:hidden"> <div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row"> <div style="" class=" col-lg-12"> <h4 class="site-heading">What we do</h4> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row my-0 py-0 marginTop22"> <div style="" class=" col-lg-12"><p>Against this background, UNODC supports States in:</p> <ul><li><span style="color:#333333">Strengthening capacities to prevent and combat corruption in international investment and to promote greater synergies between investment promotion policies and anti-corruption strategies and practices.</span></li><li><span style="color:#333333">Conducting expert group meetings, workshops and discussions to promote experience-sharing and enhance capacities of anti-corruption and investment promotion authorities, representatives of the private sector and civil society.</span></li><li><span style="color:#333333">Facilitating international cooperation among jurisdictions and experts while promoting the exchange of information and peer learning.</span></li><li><span style="color:#333333">Disseminating knowledge products and providing recommendations to better align investment and anti-corruption policies and practices. </span></li></ul></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section><div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row my-4 heading-rows-with-icon heading-rows-with-icon-resources marginTop45 marginBottom22"> <div style="" class=" col-lg-12"> <h1 class="site-heading">Resources</h1> </div> </div> </div><div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row my-0 py-0 marginBottom30"> <div style="" class=" col-lg-12"> <div class="card card-block card-std roundedCorners dropShadow publicationCard " style="background-color:transparent"> <div class=" card-body text-align--start justify-content-start"> <div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row my-0 py-0 marginTop15 marginBottom15"> <div style="" class="marginBottom22 col-lg-3"> <div class="image-container card-with-pic-dropdown-pic-side"><img src="/corruption/uploads/images/resources-covers/Tackling_corruption_in_international_investment_Website.png" class="img-fluid" alt="Tackling Corruption in International Investment website" title="Tackling Corruption in International Investment website"></div> </div> <div style="" class=" col-lg-9"> <div class="container mx-auto mt-0 px-0"> <div class=" row my-0 py-0"> <div style="" class=" col-lg-12"> <div class="container mx-auto mt-0 px-0"> <div class=" row publicationDate"> <div style="" class=" col-lg-12"><p>UNODC</p></div> </div> </div> <div class="container mx-auto mt-0 px-0"> <div class=" row contentText"> <div style="" class=" col-lg-12"> <h5 class="site-heading">Tackling Corruption in International Investment</h5> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container mx-auto mt-0 px-0"> <div class=" row contentText marginTop15"> <div style="" class=" col-lg-12"><p>The international investment site provides an overview of UNODC’s activities in promoting integrity and anti-corruption in international investment.
