The Basel Institute on Governance is committed to maintaining existing and seeking new partnership arrangements with key organisations of the global efforts to promote good governance and fight corruption. In line with this commitment, the Institute signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the National Anti-Corruption Commission of Thailand (NACC) on 6 June 2011. The purpose of the MOU is to enhance the sharing of anti-corruption knowledge and expertise, undertake joint activities to prevent and combat corruption, and promote anti-corruption research and training projects.

On 4 June 2012, Mr Panthrep Klanarongran, President of the NACC, together with NACC Commissioners and officers, the Director of the Thailand Anti-Corruption Agreements Coordination Centre (TACC) and International Affairs Officers, visited the Institute for the purpose of discussing the annual Action Plan outlining co-operative activities pursuant to the MOU. The meeting focused on the work of the Institute, the work, functions and responsibilities of the NACC and future co-operation between the parties to the MOU.

Resulting co-operative activities also included the participation of experts from the International Centre of Asset Recovery, Phyllis Atkinson and Kodjo Attisso, in a Capacity Building Workshop funded by Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation, Anti-Corruption and Transparency Experts' Task Force (APEC ACT) and hosted by the NACC in Phuket, Thailand. The workshop which took place from 10 – 12 July 2012, focused on “Effectively Combating Corruption and Illicit Trade through Tracking Cross-border Financial Flows, International Asset Recovery and Anti-Money Laundering Efforts”.
