Strengthening the global fight against corruption: G20 ACWG meets in Brazil

Strengthening the global fight against corruption: G20 ACWG meets in Brazil

Executive Summary

The second G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group meeting under South Africa's presidency convened in Brasilia, Brazil, from June 9 to 12, 2025, co-chaired by South Africa and Brazil to advance priorities like public sector transparency, asset recovery, and multi-stakeholder involvement. Key discussions focused on draft High-Level Principles for managing seized assets, a Zero Draft Ministerial Declaration for corruption prevention, and side events on procurement integrity, emerging crimes, and bribery with partners like UNDP and OECD. Aligned with South Africa's G20 theme of Solidarity, Equality, and Sustainability, the meeting builds momentum toward tangible global anti-corruption actions ahead of the October 2025 ministerial in Mpumalanga.
