Anti-Corruption Program

Anti-Corruption Conference

The "Przeciw Korupcji" Program (Against Corruption Program) is an independent program of the Stefan Batory Foundation and the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights. The main goal of the Program is to initiate and develop a public movement which will build public responsibility and assure that activity at all governmental levels becomes and remains responsible and transparent. This movement will attempt to rebuild society's trust into public institutions and encourage greater public participation in all aspects of public life. The Program received a grant from the Ford Foundation that provides basic funding for two years of activities.

Past month  conference

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) jointly organized, in association with partner institutions and with the support of the Government of Korea, the "Seoul Conference on Combating Corruption in the Asia-Pacific Region."  The Conference was held in Seoul, South Korea on 11-13 December 2000.

The objective of this Conference was to review the progress made in the fight against corruption in the region, based on the policy recommendations adopted at the first meeting of the ADB/OECD Forum on Combating Corruption held in Manila in 1999. The focus was on strengthening the co-operation between the different stakeholders in the fight against corruption, including governments, businesses, universities, the media, and civil society. The meeting's aim was to support all stakeholders in leading an efficient fight against corruption in the region. By gathering representatives of the main actors in the field of anti-corruption, the Seoul Conference assisted participating countries in developing well-targeted anti-corruption programs by providing examples of success stories and best practices gathered from ongoing national and regional initiatives.
