Curbing corruption in Latin America requires more than just top-down institutional reforms — it requires the active engagement of citizens across the region. On October 15 and 16, USIP held three webcasts exploring how to empower citizens to hold local officials accountable, how to use restorative mechanisms to repair the harms suffered by vulnerable communities, and how to mobilize the private sector against the unfair practices that stifle competition. International experts shared lessons learned around the world and discussed replicating these initiatives in Guatemala, where the government has made fighting systemic corruption a national priority.
