Promoting rule of law for business
From 1998-2007, the Good Governance Program (GGP) worked to increase
market access and ensure a level playing field for U.S. companies
in emerging markets by promoting:
-
Transparency through
Business Ethics and
Anti-Corruption
-
Accountability in Corporate
Governance
-
Fairness in Commercial
Dispute Resolution
- Protection of Intellectual
Property Rights
By early 2007, the GGP accomplished its basic mission of encouraging
self-sustaining initiatives in each of its program countries.
While no longer actively engaged in program activities, ITA continues
to lend its expertise to its Good Governance trainees and constituents
on program related issues such as business ethics, corporate governance,
commercial dispute resolution, and intellectual property rights.
Please contact us should you have any questions about the GGP
resource tools which continue to be available at: http://www.trade.gov/goodgovernance/publications.asp.
A free online course in Business Ethics, based on the Good Governance
Business Ethics Manual and jointly produced with the World Bank
Institute, will be available online in December 2007 at: http://www.worldbank.org/wbi/.
