“Say No” Campaign Gains Ground In Egypt

The pilot phase of the concerted “Say No” campaign, piloted by a number of MACN companies in the Suez Canal as part of a collective action launched on International Anti-Corruption Day in December 2015, ended recently. The campaign has decreased the frequency of demands for payments and has made it easier for captains to say no. Pilots are also reported to be less aggressive and more forthcoming. As a next step, MACN is preparing a full launch of the project.
