Overview
The Institute for Multi-Stakeholder Initiative Integrity (MSI Integrity) develops research tools and conducts evaluations to examine the impact of voluntary efforts that have been formed to tackle issues such as corruption in the oil sector. Many such initiatives involve businesses, governments, nongovernmental organizations, and communities as they contend with governance gaps that are not adequately addressed by domestic or international legal or regulatory regimes. MSI Integrity’s findings would strengthen both ongoing and future initiatives by determining whether, when, and how these efforts are most effective.

Grants to this Grantee
for board development
The Institute for Multi-Stakeholder Initiative Integrity (MSI-Integrity) conducts research on initiatives that bring together governments, businesses, and non-governmental organizations to address issues of common and general interest. MSI-Integrity started off intending to maintain a lean staff and outsourced systems. Over time, it has become apparent that they need to strengthen their governance systems in order to keep up with their expanding role in the transparency and accountability field. A strong MSI-Integrity will advance our understanding of the many multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs) that we support - the OGP, EITI, IATI, GIFT etc. - and inform our future relationship to these and other MSIs.

MSI Integrity’s research aims to strengthen existing multi-stakeholder initiatives by investigating and documenting whether, when, and how these efforts are effective. During this grant period, MSI Integrity plans to broaden its research to include whether and how these initiatives reflect and are responsive to the voices of citizens.
