Germany approaches Anticorruption in Sectors at different levels • By supporting international initiatives: • By integrating anticorruption into sectoral technical cooperation programs
Anticorruption WORKS: A 4-step approach for integrating AC into sector programs • The basic idea is to systematically think through the specific risks of corruption in a sector and find ways of mitigating them through the activities and instruments of German Development Cooperation (capacity development).
Country Examples • The GIZ Anticorruption and Integrity Program first piloted the workshop in an education program in Honduras 2009 to prepare a project component on integrity. • Recently, in the Philippines the workshop brought together four GIZ programs operating in different sectors. • The participants identified tailored anticorruption activities for their respective programs, ranging from the inclusion of anticorruption issues in a conflict prevention do-no-harm checklist to activities to reform the licensing process in the wood production value chain.
Conclusion • “Anticorruption WORKS” thus serves as a hands-on tool for integrating anticorruption and integrity in a wide range of development programs bottom up. • It addresses the people at the level of their work and • It combines core values of German development cooperation, such as working in and with • Context • Participatory approach • Stakeholder-involvement/ownership • At the same time German development cooperation is developing an anti-corruption strategy which envisages the mainstreaming into sectors top down guidance
