About this toolkit

The 11 Conference of the States Parties to the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC CoSP11), taking place in Doha, Qatar between 15-19 December 2025, provides an important opportunity to create momentum around key anti-corruption issues and to contribute to advancing reforms.

This comprehensive toolkit sets out priority issues to help focus efforts around key anti-corruption topics identified by the Global Civil Society for the Coalition (the Coalition) and its community. This ensures we are providing effective advocacy and communications support to the relevant stakeholders working on these issues.

Priority topics

There are 5 key priorities identified by the Coalition, including specific resolutions of priority, which comprise a broader strategy for a wider reach, and will include targeted actions to be utilized across different platforms and settings.

These priorities are the following:

  • Next phase of the UNCAC Implementation Review Mechanism (IRM)
  • Environmental Crime and Corruption
  • Human Rights and Corruption
  • Access to Information
  • Civic Space

Other topics

These topics cover other cross-cutting issues that we consider crucial to advance.

They include:

  • Protection of reporting persons
  • Gender, inclusion and corruption
  • Victims of corruption
  • Asset recovery
  • Political finance

Who is this toolkit for?

This toolkit contains messaging that has been developed with the support of experts from across the Coalition’s different workstreams. It provides an overview of why each topic is relevant to address in the context of the UNCAC, and outlines goals and proposed actions for each. It contains overarching messages and tailored resources to support civil society in their advocacy efforts, which can be adjusted and adapted for use in different contexts.

What are objectives of this toolkit?

The communications and advocacy objectives of this toolkit can be summarized through the following:

  • To raise awareness of anti-corruption issues and the profile of work being carried out by groups around the world to advance these key issues.
  • To consolidate and build upon shared messaging for communication around key anti-corruption issues, and to support advocacy efforts taking place at the global, regional and national level.
