Project Description

Central Asian Business Integrity Network (CABIN) established by European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) will connect public sector experts working on integrity and compliance with businesses, chambers of commerce, civil society organizations, and other entities from outside the public sector from the region. The primary objective of this network is to enhance the legal literacy of entrepreneurs in the Central Asian region and support them in protecting their interests during interactions with government bodies.

The CABIN’s target audience will be EBRD clients, compliance officers and other stakeholders driven by establishing effective anti-corruption systems in private companies and independently monitoring compliance, which would expand support for responsible business practices, integrity, and success based on fair competition.

Stakeholders of CABIN will receive an opportunity to share their knowledge and experience in social responsibility, anti-bribery management, anti-corruption compliance, prevention of occupational fraud, supporting whistleblowers, and civil society monitoring activities within the corporate sector.

This combined effort from the private and civic sectors will aim to drive a cultural shift, encouraging holistic ecosystem behavioural change and wide stakeholder engagement vis-à-vis anti-corruption measures across the Central Asian countries.

The project is also in line with the government reform priorities in good governance aimed at strengthening the role of civil society, increasing transparency and public accountability. The project relates to the Sustainable Development Goal (16), which is dedicated to the promotion of peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, access to justice for all and building effective, accountable institutions at all levels.

The project’s overall aim is to implement measures establishing internal controls to minimize corruption and fraud risks. This includes navigating administrative procedures to obtain public services, handling licensing, overseeing business activities, and implementing anti-corruption measures in dealings with the public sector and business management. Through this the project will generate best practices to replicate across the region including by using the advantages provided by the UNODC Regional Platform.

In doing this, the TC project will aim to promote the following outcomes:

Outcome 1: The champions of private sector in Central Asian countries are united and enhanced for promoting business integrity locally and regionally.

Outcome 2: Regional dialogue with civic and public actors on issues of business integrity, countering corruption and fraud in private sector is launched and generating the knowledge products.

Access to Information Policy (AIP)

The AIP sets out how the EBRD discloses information and consults with its stakeholders so as to promote better awareness and understanding of its strategies, policies and operations following its entry into force on 1 January 2020. Please visit the Access to Information Policy page to find out what information is available from the EBRD website.

Specific requests for information can be made using the EBRD Enquiries form

Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM)

If efforts to address environmental, social or public disclosure concerns with the Client or the Bank are unsuccessful (e.g. through the Client’s Project-level grievance mechanism or through direct engagement with Bank management), individuals and organisations may seek to address their concerns through the EBRD’s Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM).

IPAM independently reviews Project issues that are believed to have caused (or to be likely to cause) harm. The purpose of the Mechanism is: to support dialogue between Project stakeholders to resolve environmental, social and public disclosure issues; to determine whether the Bank has complied with its Environmental and Social Policy or Project-specific provisions of its Access to Information Policy; and where applicable, to address any existing non-compliance with these policies, while preventing future non-compliance by the Bank.

Please visit the Independent Project Accountability Mechanism webpage to find out more about IPAM and its mandate; how to submit a Request for review; or contact IPAM via email ipam@ebrd.com to get guidance and more information on IPAM and how to submit a request.
