Keeping in mind the time limits, and thanking you for the question, I'll be telegraphic.
In Russia, thanks to support from USAID, we were able to partner with the Russian Chamber of Commerce and the Russian Association called OPORA to establish 16 coalitions at the local level across Russia that brought in 22,000 Russian corporations, and they did a couple of different things. They created self-defence mechanisms to help firms protect themselves against extortion—bribery requests. They went after the local property markets, which were often being misused by the local governments, again extracting extra money in order to get access to the land, and also putting in place laws and regulations. They're trying to remedy laws and regulations that have been created at the national level but weren't being put in place at the local level.
So it comes back to advocacy. It comes back to equipping people with the skills to know how to do this, and collective action, all parts of that Busan agenda.
There are a number of other countries where the same kind of thing happened. In the country of Georgia—classic example—international best practice is actually a myth. There is an international best practice, but you can't download it on a country. So they brought in a whole group of outside experts to write the administrative code of Georgia, which they did, based on international best practice, translated it into Russian and Georgian, passed it through, and forgot to do any of the training programs or community mobilization. We were able to work with a couple of Georgian think tanks and associations to begin putting pressure on local government, saying this is the law, you've got to implement it. And when they didn't, we went to the newspapers and to the national government.
It can be done, but all too often we just don't think about doing it.
