Projektziel

The Programme aims to build and strengthen the capacity of governments and civil society organizations (CSOs) from the South East European (SEE) region to prevent and fight corruption. It contributes directly to ADA objectives and priorities of reducing poverty, promoting gender equality, good governance and human rights.

Erwartete Ergebnisse

To achieve its objective, the Programme will implement six outcomes developed in coherence between RAI and UNODC and their respective expertise. By the end of 2018, it is expected that at least three beneficiary countries will have introduced/strengthened their corruption risk assessment (1) and corruption proofing of legislation (2), that a regional framework for cooperation on data exchange in asset disclosure and conflict of interest will have been strengthened (3), and that CSOs will have increased: their knowledge of UNCAC, their capacity to contribute to the ongoing review and to replicate the training (4), their skills and resources to work with the private sector and raise awareness (5), and expanded their networks while contributing to the review process with their government (6).

Zielgruppe

The direct beneficiaries are 23 national ministries and anti-corruption agencies, 75 CSOs and relevant stakeholders, private sector representatives as well as member organizations of SELDI network (civil society anti-corruption network of 30 civil society partner organizations and two associated partners) and the UNCAC Coalition (global network of over 360 CSOs in over 100 countries, committed to promoting the ratification, implementation and monitoring of the UN Convention against Corruption – UNCAC), their coordination committees being implementing partners. In addition, the International Anti-Corruption Academy (IACA) in Laxenburg is a prominent partner. Indirect beneficiaries are the inhabitants of all countries targeted by this promising project.

Maßnahmen

The above outcomes will be achieved through the following inputs: the development of national methodologies, legal proposals and IT tools for a regional mechanism, the implementation of training sessions on the UNCAC and its review mechanism, the facilitation of multi-stakeholder consultations, the provision of advocacy materials and the creation of a virtual regional knowledge management hub.
