Service Information

The Business Integrity Initiative (BII) is a joint initiative of the UK Department for International Development (DFID), the UK Department for International Trade (DIT) and the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) that is being run by the British Business Association of Kenya / British Chamber of Commerce of Kenya (BBAK-BCCK).

It is mainly targeted at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) because smaller businesses tend to be more vulnerable to bribery and corruption abroad, as well as face specific challenges when exporting and need tailored support.

The current service offer to businesses is managed by the Business Integrity Hub (bih@dfid.gov.uk), which consists of two civil servants based in DFID London:

• Online guidance for exporters highlighting integrity risks to be aware of when doing business abroad and signposting to resources
• Business Integrity Consultancy Service - up to 5 days of match-funded, tailored guidance from a consultant on topics ranging from compliance with the law, prevention and risk mitigation, to collective action and human rights
• Market and sector specific guidance for Kenya, Pakistan and Mexico - delivered through three country pilots to test how Her Majesty Government (HMG) can effectively deliver business integrity support through UK missions (March 2019 to March 2020) read more
