Good governance of the public and private sectors leads to a maximization of economic benefits in a globalized economy and accelerates economic transition. The Office of the Co-ordinator of OSCE Economic and Environmental Activities (OCEEA) works to enhance security and stability in the OSCE region by, among other things, promoting international co-operation on economic issues, strengthening good governance and assisting participating States in combating corruption, money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
The purpose of this handbook is to provide the 57 OSCE participating States and 11 Partners for Co-operation with a reference guide on available legal tools, the latest legislative and policy trends, and pertinent measures and practices to prevent and suppress corruption. It is aimed at raising awareness of the range of international instruments available to national policymakers and anti-corruption practitioners, and assisting them in developing and implementing effective anti-corruption policies and measures, thereby reducing the possibilities for corruption, instability and transnational crime. The handbook is produced by the OSCE in collaboration with UNODC, OECD and GRECO and other partners.
