Anti-corruption practitioners network

Anti-Corruption Practitioners Network (ACPN) Homepage

 Russian version

The network is a group of people committed to the fight against public corruption in the Eastern European and the CIS countries. The members of the network are practitioners and experts working in state institutions or international organizations. This website contains information provided by the members and allowing them to collaborate with each other to meet operational objectives.

The goal of this interactive tool is to address specific legal and operational problems of existing anti-corruption institutions in the countries of the region and to support the development of new anti-corruption institutions. The idea of creating the network was formulated during the Regional Forum on Anti-Corruption Institutions, held in Vienna from the 12th to the 14th of December 2005. Participants of the Forum expressed their support for the creation of a Practitioners’ Network that could maintain contact with each other and allow them to share information and technical advice.

The ACPN supports capacity development of anti-corruption agencies

UNDP Bratislava Regional Centre is currently implementing the project that aims to support anti-corruption institutions in Eastern Europe and the CIS through capacity development activities. The project is conducted with technical assistance provided to anti-corruption practitioners and agencies in the region by the members and the partner institutions of the ACPN. The project's aim is to enhance institutional capacity of selected countries in the region to fight corruption, with particular reference to the necessity of implementing the provision of the UNCAC. The first phase of the project (selection of participating AC agencies) is ongoing. Click here for the project concept note. If you think your expertise could be useful for the project or you believe that your agency could benefit from the participation to the project please contact francesco.checchi@undp.org

UNDP BRC has developed a Methodology for Assessing the Capacities of Anti-Corruption Agencies to Perform Preventive Functions. It is founded on the best practices and lessons learned from providing the support to anti-corruption agencies in the specific context of the Eastern Europe and the CIS countries, as well as a series of analysis and researches regarding the same area. This Methodology has been developed by the UNDP BRC in order to provide UNDP Country Offices in the region, as well as other international actors, with a tool for assessing the capacity of institutional arrangements dealing with specific corruption prevention functions, irrespective of the type of agency that is being assessed.
