CIVICUS provided a brief report of the joint workshop on CoST and the Partnerining Intititve of IBLF that was held at the CIVICUS Global Assembly in August 2010.
The CoST factsheet provides downloadable information about why CoST is necessary, how it works, overall objectives and principles and the benefits it offers.
In December 2008, the Commissioner of the Federal Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission of Ethiopia (FEACC), H.E Mr. Ali Suleyman, announced that Ethiopia would sign up to the Construction Sector Transparency Initiative (CoST).
This document is intended as a reference for pilot countries as they shape their own national messages and conduct media work in support of CoST activities.
This factsheet is for use by countries that are interested in CoST and would like to raise more awareness of the initiative. It can be downloaded from the website and distributed as needed. More information on the information and support available to countries interested in joining CoST in the future can be sought from the international secretariat directly.
