Public administration reform and anti-corruption in Europe & CIS

Anti-Corruption

Corruption is undoubtedly one of the key governance problems of the region. As in much of the rest of the world, corruption in Eastern Europe and the CIS has gone from being a well-known secret to a topic that is widely acknowledged and discussed; however, discussion is most often in generalities, without focusing on realistic solutions. Many countries of the region suffer from high levels of public corruption that frequently undermine efforts at administrative reform and impede the development of governmental capacity to fulfil state responsibilities.

Project:         Support to Practical anti-Corruption Initiatives in Central and Eastern Europe

The project is co-funded by the Dutch Matra programme and aims at  establishing a mechanism for supporting the activities of the anti-corruption institutions in the countries of the region. Outcomes of the project are the establishment of a Network of anti-corruption practitioners working in operational AC institutions in the countries of the region and the creation of an electronic platform for supporting the Network activities. These anti-corruption tools will be managed and tested by UNDP during 2007.
