The fight against corruption is a global challenge that demands collaboration, innovation, and strong partnerships. BridgeGap is proud to participate in the World Cafés Session at the World Bank’s Partnerships for Anti-Corruption Global Forum 2025. This high-level event brings together policymakers, private sector leaders, scholars, civil society organizations, and anti-corruption experts to discuss strategies for enhancing transparency, accountability, and integrity worldwide.
Session: BridgeGap | Bridging the Gaps in Evidence, Regulation and Impact of Anticorruption Policies
Dates: 8-9 April, 2025 | 4:30-5:30 PM EST
Location: Preston Auditorium and Overflow, World Bank Group Headquarters, Washington, DC
BridgeGap treats corruption as a policy problem and focuses on understanding both the domestic vulnerabilities and the cross-border factors that undermine the control of corruption. This Horizon Europe-funded interdisciplinary research project provides access to objective data, analytical tools, online training and policy recommendations. BridgeGap aims to fill knowledge gaps in corruption’s impact on open societies, address digital transparency gaps in public accountability and integrity, find solutions to regulatory and enforcement gaps in the EU and neighbouring countries, and bridge the gap between academia and policy. BridgeGap provides access to a wealth of data repositories and analytical tools, such as the Follow the Money search engine, which tracks financial flows, unmasks hidden networks, and analyzes webs of influence. Powered by the BridgeGap Ukrainian partner YouControl, it uses 336 global data sources, covering 92 million companies and 86 million individuals.
Presenters:
Franceso Mureddu, Vice President for Development at the Lisbon Council
Denisse Rodriguez-Olivari, Research Associate at Adam Smith Business School – University of Glasgow
