UNDP’s regional project on Anti-Corruption and Integrity in Arab Countries (ACIAC) contributes to the Strategic Plan’s “direction of change” including structural transformations, leaving no one behind, and building resilience by targeting the achievement of three outputs outlined in its annual work plan. Key related planned activities for 2024 are funded by the Government of the Republic of Korea. Primary recipients of the support are stakeholders across the region with a priority given to Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, and Tunisia. The regional project is focusing on the inclusive and effective implementation of the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), including through policy and legislative support, training, and the provision of technologies and other tools to boost capacities of concerned institutions. It is also aiming to further deepen the work on transparency and accountability in key vulnerable sectors, including through new initiatives to support the assessment and mitigation of sectoral corruption risks in prioritized countries. An additional focus is on tackling regional developmental challenges through enhanced transparency and accountability including peace and conflict, women’s empowerment, youth engagement, private sector development and climate change.
