Anonymous companies are enablers of #corruption. We cannot effectively address corruption without making transparent who owns and controls companies -- called Beneficial Ownership Transparency. Through a Governance Trust Fund of The World Bank, the Chandler Foundation and other philanthropic partners (thank you William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and MacArthur Foundation!) helped the Government of Malawi obtain $6.5million of IDA support to implement Beneficial Ownership Transparency. Malawi's efforts to introduce Beneficial Ownership Transparency are among several commitments in their Open Government Partnership National Action Plan (NAP). The NAP commitments are important steps for Malawi to replace endemic corruption in government institutions with cultures of integrity. That important journey continues in Malawi and is worthy of donor support. For Malawi will not make the economic and social progress its people so desperately need without reducing corruption.

Check out this interview of TrustBridge ED Renuka Sane. https://lnkd.in/gaH4j5Vf
TrustBridge Rule of Law Foundation was established in 2022 by two Trilegal co-founders with the stated aim of improving the performance and behaviour of the state and its institutions, as well as private market participants, in a manner that aligns with the wider economic goals of the country. Renuka Sane, managing director of TrustBridge, discusses the gaps in India’s legal infrastructure, the role lawyers play at TrustBridge, and how the organisation measures success.
