Several best practices emerged from the report:

• Independent whistleblower protection bodies with broad investigative mandates and adequate resources help provide protection and building public confidence in reporting mechanisms.

• Burden-shifting legal frameworks reduce the burden on reporting persons who often lack access to evidence.

• Encrypted digital reporting platform utilization allows secure, anonymous disclosures.

• Partnering with civil society to deliver legal aid training, public education, peer support, and advocacy assistance allows whistleblowers to receive more robust support.

• Holistic support structures that address financial, legal, and emotional needs of reporting persons are more responsive to the full range of challenges they face.

These practices demonstrate scalable roadmaps for implementation that can be adapted across diverse legal systems and country contexts.
