OSCE organizes workshop on role of youth in combating corruption in Tajikistan

Tajik youth increased their understanding and knowledge about negative impacts of corruption and how they can prevent corruption in Tajikistan at an OSCE-organized workshop on 16 and 17 November 2021 in Dushanbe.

Some 35 young women and men from different universities of Tajikistan attended the event. The main discussion topics were international standards in the field of prevention of corruption and conflict of interest; ethics and code of conduct in public service; assessment and indicators of corruption risks; transparency and openness of state institutions; restrictions and prohibitions for public servants and conflict of interest.

Filippo Crivellaro, Head of the Economic and Environmental Department at the OSCE Programme Office in Dushanbe said: “As a driving force of each society, youth plays important role in democratic and economic development of the country. For this reason, the OSCE supports the efforts to raise awareness of young women and men about the consequences of corruption and integrate them in broader anti-corruption efforts.”
