🌍 This International Anti-Corruption Day, we’re shining a spotlight on the success of ...supporting positive deviance in the face of corruption.

Leadership across our global network of translocal labs has found that supporting champions of good governance both inside and outside of government is a surefire way to grow support and create buy-in in the face of corruption.

Whether it’s celebrating exceptional public servants through Accountability Lab’s Integrity Icon campaign across the network, training government staff, or even leading their teams, positive reinforcement is a collaborative approach that reaps rewards.
