The primary objective of this project was to generate knowledge on institutional, political and business incentives that shape corruption in Argentina, the interaction between formal and informal institutions in specific markets and areas, the cost of corruption to such markets and the mechanisms that may help to prompt actors into action for reform. The project focused on the following issues:

• political financing;
• public procurement;
• responsibility of legal persons
• the role of the legal profession in facilitating corrupt transactions.

Such knowledge was intended to be the basis for shaping consensus-based reform proposals aimed at shifting the incentives that facilitate corruption. The creation of a multi-stakeholder platform was planned to guide discussions and build consensus for such proposals. This would constitute the centrepiece of a “principle-based initiative”, aiming at improving the legal framework and advancing policy reforms. The project ended in 2014.
