Strengthening Implementation of Anticorruption Standards Globally

This award will support efforts in at least three of six target countries (select among: South Africa, The Gambia, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malaysia, and Armenia) to identify priority substantive anticorruption measures and assist in implementation of reform actions related to them. The substantive measures will be determined in reference to the international and regional standards to which these countries have agreed, and the recommendations of the peer review bodies associated with them. Several anticorruption mechanisms and fora promote action on these standards by facilitating peer recommendations or encouraging country commitments. The project should then support the development of action plans and targeted follow-up action (i.e. technical assistance, advocacy, and coordination) to help governments implement the action plans.
