IFC and “Business & Politics” are launching a public campaign on corporate governance

The public awareness campaign is targeted towards a wide audience of readers – managers of joint stock companies, heads of business councils, state enterprises, university students, mass media and shareholders.

Project implementers are also planning to publish a special information insert to the “Business & Politics” weekly. This insert will contain samples of best practices of corporate governance, description of global trends, tools for introduction of corporate governance in Tajik companies and business entities. The publications will contain a “questions-and-answers” column where the project experts will be sharing their experience with readers.

The two-year project envisages a wide-scale public information campaign for development of corporate governance skills at multiple levels.
