The Project for Promoting Prosecution of Corrupt Practices through the Establishment of Anti-corruption Mechanism
Following a multi-disciplinary mission on Economic Governance in June 2023, UNDP developed a framework offer of support to the Government on Economic Governance. Strengthening Anti-Corruption and Integrity remains a key pillar within this framework. UNDP’s support towards this end includes targeted support to the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) to implement the new composite anti-corruption law, and support to other agencies within the anti-corruption ecosystem in their capacity development efforts.
UNDP’s engagement in the subject also extends to strengthening transparency and accountability of institutions including institutional support to implement selected findings of the IMF governance diagnostic recommendations. With the funding support of the Government of Japan, UNDP is implementing the project titled “The Project for Promoting Prosecution of Corrupt Practices through the Establishment of Anti-corruption Mechanism”. Building on prior JSB-supported interventions, this project adopts a comprehensive, whole-of-society approach to effectively implement the National Anti-Corruption Action Plan (NACAP) for 2025-2029.
The project is structured around three key outcomes:
- Promoting transparency, accountability, and integrity through institutionalized preventive mechanisms within the public sector.
- Strengthening institutional capacity for effective investigation and prosecution of corruption.
- Empowering citizens - especially youth, children, and journalists - to engage in anti-corruption efforts and strengthen social accountability.
These outcomes collectively aim to reduce corruption, enhance public confidence in governance, and contribute to a more transparent and resilient Sri Lankan society.
