Recognizing that poor countries in particular cannot bear the costs of corruption, the GCA was one of the first organizations to raise the problem of corruption and development in high-level, international meetings and to advocate comprehensive anti-corruption measures. Building on this work, representatives of eleven African countries came together in 1999 under the auspices of the GCA to develop a set of principles designed to promote collaboration among countries to combat corruption and reinforce national anti-corruption efforts.
