What haute autorite pour la bonne gouvernance does

Haute Autorité pour la Bonne Gouvernance (HABG) is an independent administrative authority of Côte d'Ivoire, established by Ordinance No. 2013-660 of September 20, 2013, and headquartered in Abidjan, Cocody Riviera. It is the national anti-corruption body mandated with the prevention, investigation, and prosecution support of corruption, illicit enrichment, and money laundering offenses. HABG serves Ivorian citizens, public officials, and public and private sector organizations that interact with government institutions, and it coordinates with magistrates, law enforcement, and international anti-corruption bodies.

Its core technology and product portfolio includes the SIGNALIS multichannel reporting platform, which enables corruption and illicit enrichment disclosures to be submitted via multiple channels; the ABG-LAC training academy, launched in April 2025, which delivers anti-corruption and governance capacity-building; and an ISO 27001 information security management system (SMSI) project initiated in 2023 to secure sensitive case and declaration data. The authority also maintains a national database of asset declarations supporting its investigative mandate.

HABG is funded through the Ivorian state budget and does not operate on a commercial revenue model. It is staffed by approximately 15 employees and supplemented by external partnerships with international organizations including GIZ, the African Development Bank (BAD), IACA, ONUDC, and Amnesty International. Recent indictments of 473 individuals for corruption underscore its operational enforcement activity.
