Mission & Goals
The Global Civil Society Coalition for the UNCAC has changed its name in 2025; it was previously known as UNCAC Coalition. We are a global network uniting almost 400 civil society actors from across the world, operating at the international, regional and national levels for the monitoring, implementation, and strengthening of the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC). Our mission is to bolster integrity and reduce corruption by supporting and empowering civil society to collectively promote transparency, accountability and good governance, and to advance the implementation and strengthening of legal frameworks resulting from international agreements, in particular the UNCAC. The Coalition engages with the EU to advance the implementation of the UNCAC in Europe, and to advance anti-corruption, transparency, and accountability in Europe and around the world.
