Information
2024 is the largest election year in history but illicit money funnelled to political parties and campaigns remains the highest risk to electoral integrity. Leaders from government, media, political finance oversight agency, and civil society will present ideas that could pave the way for a UN resolution on stricter political finance controls at the UNCAC COSP11 in 2025 in Doha.
