Stakeholders to discuss corruption measurement, impact at #CoSP10

The Center for Fiscal Transparency and Integrity Watch (CeFTIW) will join stakeholders at the 10th session of Conference of States Parties (CoSP 10) at a high-level hybrid event to discuss challenges and share initiatives for measuring corruption, with an emphasis on the use of scientific data to spur action, strengthen anti-corruption efforts, and comprehend the effects of such initiatives in order to develop better policies.

The high-level event on the sideline of CoSP 10, aims to trigger international cooperation and inspire concrete actions to address corruption on a global scale. It will hold on the 12th of December by 1.30PM EST (7.30 WAT), and it’s organised by the Center, Italy, Montenegro, Serbia, Center for International Private Enterprise, International Sociological Association; with Ghana, Mexico, OECD, UNDP, UNODC, and World Bank as co-organizers.

Corruption measurement which is highlighted in Article 61 of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) is an important tool in the global efforts to combat corruption. The Article mandates Member States to “consider analyzing, in consultation with experts, trends in corruption in their territory, as well as the circumstances in which corruption offences are committed.”
