CONTACT (Country Assessment in Accountability and Transparency)

CONTACT is a set of generic guidelines to assist governments in conducting self-assessment of their financial management and anti-corruption systems.

The guides were developed jointly with various UN agencies and the World Bank, and received financial support from the Governments of Denmark, the Netherlands and Germany through the UNDP Programme for Accountability and Transparency. It is a dynamic and continuously evolving instrument that will need constant update through feedback based on best practices and pilot testing. Its generic nature as a diagnostic tool is a contribution to the international donor community's effort to apply uniform assessment methods in evaluating a country's financial management and integrity architecture.
