Under these alliances, GIACC and the listed organisations agree as follows:

  • To work together in the infrastructure sector to promote the implementation of anti-corruption measures as an integral part of government, corporate and project management.
  • To agree on a case by case basis on projects on which they can co-operate so as to achieve the objective.

These alliances are informal.  No new organisation will be formed, and there will be no resulting legal or contractual obligations.  They are alliances to achieve a common objective for the public good.
