Historique

The United Nations Pacific Regional Anti-Corruption (UN-PRAC) project aims to promote and strengthen measures to prevent and fight corruption more efficiently and effectively in the Pacific region. This aligns with the purpose of UNCAC in article 1(1) and the spirit of SDG 16.

The objectives of this Project are three-fold. The first is to provide Niue, Samoa and Tonga with sufficient information and support to enable their accession to UNCAC; and to support Pacific States parties to actively participate in the UNCAC review process. The second objective is to support PICs to strengthen their national anti-corruption legislation and policies, as well as institutional frameworks and capabilities to effectively implement UNCAC. The third is to provide support on the demand side of accountability, primarily through supporting a stronger engagement of non-State actors in the oversight of corruption and in the design of tools for a more transparent service delivery.

This Project will further draw on the technical expertise, tools and knowledge produced by the anti-corruption projects being implemented by UNDP and UNODC with the support of DFAT. It will also use those projects as platforms to share Pacific progress on UNCAC implementation with the global community.
