About the Global Corporate Governance Forum The Global Corporate Governance Forum (Forum) was established in 1999 as a multi-donor trust fund co-founded by the World Bank Group and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to promote global, regional, and local initiatives that aim to improve the institutional framework and practices of corporate governance. The Forum aims to find synergies with Donor/Founder strategies and programs. In doing so and to the extent possible, the Forum activities will be undertaken only where they do not conflict with Donor/Founder strategies or programs. Activities under the Forum are open to public and private sector organizations, governmental institutions and individuals with a direct interest in promoting better corporate governance around the world. The Forum is inclusive and seeks to encourage broad participation and co-operation between developed, developing and transition economies. Contributing donors include: the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), L’Agence Française de Développement (AFD), the Ministry of Finance of Luxembourg, the Royal Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Norway, the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of The Netherlands. The Forum promotes sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction within the framework of agreed international development targets and contributes to the efforts of the international community to promote the private sector as an engine of growth, reduce the vulnerability of developing and transition economies to financial crises, and provide incentives for corporations to invest and perform efficiently, in a socially responsible manner. It fosters partnerships with the programs of other relevant institutions and plays a coordinating role among Donors, Founders, and other relevant institutions. The Forum seeks to address corporate governance weaknesses of emerging markets and low income countries in the context of broader national or regional economic reform programs, which it seeks to complement and enhance.
About the Asian Institute of Corporate Governance The Asian Institute of Corporate Governance (AICG) atKorea University is the primary research institute on corporate governance issues in Asia. The AICG provides stimulating environment to encourage top-rated academic research, to develop government policy implications, and to provide training programs for top-level business managers. Recently, researches on corporate governance have attracted major attention from both academics and business communities as well as government officers around the world. The interdisciplinary nature of corporate governance issues provides opportunities to interact between academics and practitioners in finance, organizational behavior, law, economics and politics across different regions. The AICG focuses on the corporate governance issues in Asia. However, the AICG's research will also cover general corporate governance issues not directly related to the Asian countries to better understand various corporate governance issues and to apply those principles into the analysis of corporate governance issues in Asia.
