What Uncac Coalition does

The UNCAC Coalition (legal name: Global Civil Society Coalition for the UNCAC) is an independent, Vienna-based non-profit network founded to promote the implementation and monitoring of the United Nations Convention against Corruption. Headquartered at Sensengasse 4, Vienna, Austria, the organization functions as the formal civil society partner of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) for the UNCAC review mechanism, coordinating civil society participation in the Convention's Implementation Review Group (IRG) and Conference of States Parties (CoSP). Its core membership consists of anti-corruption NGOs, advocacy groups, and Transparency International national chapters that engage in parallel reporting, Freedom of Information requests, and policy advocacy under the UNCAC framework.

The Coalition's programmatic offerings include the UNCAC Review Status Tracker (an online country-compliance monitoring tool), a Civil Society Parallel Reports Program providing technical and limited financial support to producing national shadow reports, an Access to Information Campaign leveraging FOI legislation across jurisdictions, and an International Database on Corruption Damage Reparation and Legal Standing for Victims of Corruption. It maintains six thematic working groups (asset recovery, environmental crime, gender and inclusion, grand corruption, human rights, whistleblower protection, victims of corruption) and four regional anti-corruption platforms (Africa, Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia) with planned Middle East engagement through CoSP11 in Doha. Educational resources are published in Arabic, English, French, and Spanish.

The Coalition operates as a grant-funded civil society organization with no commercial revenue; membership is free and open to qualifying NGOs, while operations are sustained by institutional donors including the government of Norway and NORAD. Its technology infrastructure is conventional and lightweight (WordPress CMS, MailChimp, Intercom, Google Analytics), with no proprietary AI or data products. The organization is governed by a 12-seat Coalition Coordination Committee (CCC) elected by members for two-year terms, and operates with a small staff of 1-10 employees.
