CACTI Mapping

Civic Anti-Corruption Tech Initiative (CACTI) is an inclusive global alliance of organizations using new technologies and methodologies to detect and deter corruption risks in public procurement in different countries. The consortium focuses on a strong bridging and learning facilitation, to build a sustainable, active and engaged community of professional organizations and experts across sectors.

The consortium’s objectives continue to provide value, even more so, with recent developments:

• Lead research and experimentation around the future of anti-corruption solutions
• Facilitate a global community of learning and exchange of knowledge and expertise
• Drive systematic and systemic impact in anti-corruption policy and practice worldwide

The maps presented here are part of an analysis of more than 80,000 accounts and their communication patterns around the keywords "state capture," "anticorruption," "grand corruption," "public procurement," and "illicit financial flows," on Twitter, in July 2020. They help us better understand the nature of the existing communities of theory, policy and practice, find the key actors, and strategize better ways to increase communication, enable collaboration and have sustainable positive social impact.
