Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — In a recent strategic meeting, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Oversight and Anti-Corruption Authority of Saudi Arabia (Nazaha) reaffirmed their shared commitment to combating corruption and promoting integrity at all levels of governance.

Both parties underlined the importance of deepening their collaboration. Nazaha expressed a strong interest in continuing and expanding joint efforts, recognizing the value of UNDP’s international experience and technical expertise in supporting anti-corruption strategies.

During the meeting, UNDP presented its global portfolio of anti-corruption initiatives, highlighting successful frameworks and tools that could be adapted to the Saudi context.
