Abstract
To inter-connect international practitioners involved in defence anti-corruption reform, Transparency International (TI) (UK), the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP), and the Geneva Centre for Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF), with the support of the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA), held a two day conference bringing together recognised international experts in the anti-corruption field, comprising representatives from international development banks including the World Bank and IMF, NATO, the EU, representatives from national governments and Armed Forces, representatives from defence colleges and think-tanks, and international civil society, in Geneva to assess anti-corruption programming needs and tools in the defence sphere.
