OSCE supports a сonference to mark International Anti-Corruption Day and Human Rights Day

On 4 December 2024, the OSCE Programme Office in Dushanbe (POiD) collaborated with the Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan to organize the International Scientific and Practical Conference titled "The Prevention of Corruption as a Mechanism for Protecting Human Rights and Ensuring the Efficiency of Governance: Current Status and Prospects." The conference brought together 69 representatives from government institutions, academia, and international experts to discuss the impact of corruption on human rights, efforts to combat corruption in public administration, migration issues, and the protection of human rights.

In addition to providing technical and administrative support, the POiD invited three international speakers to participate in a session focused on anti-corruption and good governance. These speakers presented their work on various topics, including anti-corruption in the health sector, using budget transparency as a means to enhance governance and reduce corruption, and advanced training as a tool for developing anti-corruption skills among public sector officials. Furthermore, a representative from the Secretariat of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Anti-Corruption Network shared key findings from the newly adopted Baseline Report of the Fifth Round of Monitoring of Anti-Corruption Reforms in Tajikistan.

This event is part of the POiD’s ongoing efforts to support Tajikistan in promoting good governance and implementing the State Anti-Corruption Strategy in line with international standards.
