I’m Francesco Checchi and I provide advisory support for the development of anti corruption, transparency and accountability initiatives in the Eastern European and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

Main areas of expertise:

1. Anti corruption – Transparency – Accountability
2. Capacity development

My work

I provide technical assistance to national anti corruption initiatives in the region, and I manage a regional anti corruption project. Most of my work aims to enhance transparency and accountability of public administration, within ministries and local governments.

I also promote new anti corruption initiatives that support human development including assessing corruption in basic services like health and education, and introducing tools that promote transparency and openness of public administration such as social media or social audit tools.
