Project Summary:

Program activities also include engagement with universities, civil society organizations and think tanks to advance their cooperation with the government in devising anti-corruption strategies and advocacy. To empower the government to act in a more transparent and responsive manner, the project works across various executive branch agencies to define common anti-corruption standards, policies and practices. The program also supports the Supreme Courts data-driven efforts to improve the prosecution and adjudication of corruption cases. Bolstering these reforms, the project works closely with the media to increase public awareness of corruption and intensify demand for greater accountability, and engages universities and think tanks to support corruption prevention advocacy initiatives with reliable data and research. The project also works at the local level to support the monitoring of health sector accountability through engagement with CSOs in several regions. The project began in May 2016 and is currently scheduled to end in May 2021.
