OSCE Presence in Albania, Italian National Anti-corruption Authority and National Co-ordinator against Corruption organize workshop on corruption prevention in Tirana

A technical workshop on corruption prevention tools and integrity planning for public officials of central level institutions was held on 28 and 29 March 2019 in Tirana.

The event was organized by the OSCE Presence in Albania and the Italian National Anti-corruption Authority (ANAC) in co-operation with the National Co-ordinator against Corruption.

The workshop – tailored to the needs of the anti-corruption focal points in line ministries and other central institutions – was developed by the ANAC and the National Co-ordinator against Corruption.

It focused on providing tools and guidance to promote integrity in public institutions, using data and transparency to fight corruption in public procurement, providing skills for the development and implementation of prevention plans, understanding the risk approach in the development of integrity and anti-corruption policy. The participants also exchanged best practices and experiences in specific fields.

The technical workshop was the last activity of the Presence-implemented project Support Anti-Corruption Measures in Albania (2014-2019), which was supported by the Italian Agency for Development Co-operation (AICS) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), with an in-kind contribution by the Italian School of Public Administration.  The Presence’s work to further strengthen anti-corruption capacities and awareness of public employees will continue.
