Ananda S. Millard (2013). Lessons from Nicaragua's experience with the Joint Donor Anti-Corruption Fund. Bergen: Chr. Michelsen Institute, U4 Anti-Corruption Resource Centre (U4 Practice Insight 2013:1)

Since 2002, the Joint Donor Anti-Corruption Fund (FAC) in Nicaragua worked with the national government to respond to corruption. The FAC brought together a group of nine donors to jointly support the strengthening of public institutions.  This effort provides interesting lessons in terms of multi-donor funds, which can establish a common donor voice, place anti-corruption on the agenda, and foster coordination between government bodies. These lessons can help inform joint efforts elsewhere.
