Fight against corruption

The United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) recognizes the role of civil society in the fight against corruption under its article 13, calling on governments to increase transparency, ensure effective public access to information and also promote public participation in decision-making processes. There is no reason why our members cannot position themselves in this sector. Our action most often in this area are those of denunciations arrests and urges the authorities to take penal or regulatory measures to curb this scourge which visibly slows the development of Africa. UNODC strengthens the capacity and engagement of civil society, particularly in developing countries, by providing training to NGOs on the Convention and its review mechanism. UNODC also supports the engagement of civil society in intergovernmental meetings and provides the necessary tools for them to work constructively with governments and the private sector in the implementation of the UNCAC. The involvement of the UN organization in this sector strengthens the positioning of our members in the fight against corruption.
