Public Sector Anti Corruption Framework

Public bodies cannot escape certain factors, both internal and external, which may have serious bearings on their smooth running. Thus, building corruption resistance is a process that organisations need to undertake on an ongoing basis and the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Framework provides a roadmap towards this end.

The framework will enable public bodies to take up the challenge of building their corruption resistance to reinforce their own objectives and enhance public trust in their respective organisations.

The objective of this manual is to assist public bodies in the setting up of anti-corruption strategies, evaluating them independently and improving on existing measures. The manual which is in line with the objectives of the United Nations Convention against Corruption and the SADC Protocol Against Corruption aims at encouraging State Parties to promote integrity, accountability and proper management of public affairs and public property.
