A Balkan-Black Sea Anti-Corruption Initiative inter-regional workshop was held at the Center for the Study of Democracy on October 2, 2002.
The workshop was part of a 2-day event which was co-hosted by the Center for International Private Enterprise(CIPE) and the CSD and brought together business leaders, policy makers, and experts in the field of anti-corruption from the Balkans, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. The emphasis was put on identifying key lessons learned from combating corruption in Southeast Europe, and how they can most effectively be applied in the Caucasus and Central Asia. The workshop also promoted the exchange of effective advocacy strategies and successful institutional reform and coalition building, focusing in particular on the work of Coalition 2000 in Bulgaria.
