"PROMOTING INTEGRITY IN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT"

Multilateral organizations like the United Nations, the World Bank, and the International Finance Corporation work with private sector entities to reduce poverty and foster international development. Identifying, assessing and mitigating potential integrity risks in high-risk environments is vital to ensure that development funds are used for their intended purpose.

Please join us for a half-day program and luncheon in cooperation with the International Finance Corporation, the World Bank and USAID, moderated by GWU Professors Jessica Tillipman and Christopher Yukins. Attendees will learn how these international organizations promote and maintain integrity in their development efforts through contractual provisions, due diligence processes and oversight measures.
