Integrity Action

Integrity Action is an international development organisation which helps citizens to monitor vital projects and services where they live, and to solve the problems they find.

Crown Agents and Integrity Action merge to provide an ‘end-to-end’ approach to strengthening accountability and effectiveness in aid and development programmes

London, March 10th 2023

Today we become a member of the not-for-profit international development organisation Crown Agents. Our joint offer combines Crown Agents’ in-depth expertise in working with governments to improve their operational effectiveness with Integrity Action’s complementary citizen-led approach to improving services and accountability.

The collaboration opens up many opportunities to achieve even greater impact for communities across the world. For example, in Ukraine, where Crown Agents is currently rebuilding hospitals and securing supplies of essential medicines, the ability to bring in a strong citizen voice into reconstruction efforts will help minimize corruption and increase long term support. Or in work that the organisation does to bring solar power to rural health centres in Sierra Leone, the involvement of community monitors who track operation and maintenance issues will help to secure longer term sustainability. All of these programmes can help to build a foundation for open and democratic governance on which stable and prosperous societies can grow.

Crown Agents has long-standing expertise in partnering with governments to solve the most complex challenges, including delivering quality local projects and essential services. Crown Agents currently reaches more than 120 million people in 86 countries with expertise in supply chains, health, governance reform, climate mitigation and adaption, and crisis response and recovery.

Integrity Action will continue to be an independent registered charity whilst sitting alongside other members of the Crown Agents’ group.
