Kofi AnnanFormer UN Secretary-GeneralDuring the General Assembly’s adoption of the UN Convention Against Corruption 31 October 2003

“Business Action Against Corruption (BAAC) is innovative because it stresses the importance of African leadership in getting results. It also assists national actors to work together by building new partnerships between government and
business to remove the opportunities for corruption” H.E. Olusegun Obasanjo, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
“Collective action and pro-active leadership are vital in addressing the complex nature of corruption. The corrosive effect of corrupt practices
significantly undermines the efforts of a country to foster sustainable growth and development. I therefore fully support Business Action Against Corruption
(BAAC) with its emphasis on practical results and seeking out coalitions for change that involve business forming innovative partnerships with government
to combat corruption in its various forms.” H.E. Dr Bingu wa Mutharika, President of the Republic of Malawi
“I am delighted that Business Action Against Corruption (BAAC) has started a programme with the government in Cameroon. We are determined to improve Cameroon’s competitiveness, and tackling corruption is key to this. BAAC’s business focus and practical approach, as well as its commitment to work in
partnership with Government is a critical part of our strategy” H.E. Ephraim Enoni, Prime Minister of the Republic of Cameroon
