The Coalition offers technical and some financial support to civil society organizations (CSOs) that wish to produce a civil society parallel report on the implementation of Chapter II (preventive measures) and Chapter V (asset recovery) of the UNCAC at the national level.
Only groups from countries where a parallel report has not been produced yet are eligible.
Please note that there is limited funding available, so the sooner you apply, the better.

Before you apply
To apply, we ask you to fill the form linked below. Before you do that, please take some time to research and reflect on the following aspects:
- When is the UNCAC implementation review taking place in your country (for more info, see the UNCAC Coalition’s UNCAC Review Status Tracker here) – note that the actual review process may be behind schedule, so best to inquire with the government focal point.
- How can your organization use the review process to advance its mission?
- How would you like to contribute to the review process?
- Which chapters/articles do you want to cover in the parallel report?
- Do you have the capacity, including an experienced researcher, to draft a parallel report? Please keep in mind that conducting interviews with officials from relevant public institutions – to the extent possible – will also be required for the report.
