  2. U4 Issue Paper rationale • Together with UNDP involved in consultation process • Concern about short-comings in checklist process • and about perception of what self-assessment can achieve

  3. Checklist purpose, role & context • Primary aim to collect information on UNCAC implementation in countries • It also elicits on technical assistance needs and where such assistance is already given • States are urged to fill out (not quite mandatory) • With no formal review mechanism yet in place the checklist is important • Checklist currently revised and broadened to cover all relevant articles • Technically improved and combined in OMNIBUS survey tool with UNCTOC checklist

  4. Gathering information Self-Assessment Checklist Who collects information? For which purpose is it collected? Which type of information is collected and from where? What is the information used for? Who owns the information?

  5. Potential concerns Perception: • Checklist more an external reporting tool • Compliance with UNCAC vs national anti-corruption reform? Data validity: • Information gathering process is likely to • be limited to executive • lack data validation process • be expensive/resource intensive • be geared towards de jure information • Insufficient reflection of national reform priorities

  6. Grasping the opportunities • Prioritising anti-corruption reform • Improving anti-corruption coordination and communication • Encouraging national reform dialogue • Creating a foothold for reform • Initiating broader monitoring process • Assessing needs for technical assistance

  7. Tools Global Integrity Scorecards TI integrity system assessments PEFA PETS Risk assessments etc Processes Reform prioritisation National vision/reform dialogue Institutional coord. and communication Information validation Feedback to TA suppliers National assessments Self-Assessment Checklist

  8. Next steps • Communicating importance of self-assessment • Using the checklist to inform national reform priorities • Using the checklist for inter-institutional dialogue • Using the checklist to inform identification of technical assistance needs • Using the checklist as a civil society tool
