What problem does the commitment aim to address?

In 2022, it became mandatory to adopt a program to comply with the General Regime for the Prevention of Corruption (RGPC), applicable to a wide range of public administration. The implementation of this program implies the adoption of a set of measures that require a framework and standardization in terms of processes and risk assessment. These measures began to be implemented before the National Anti-Corruption Mechanism (MENAC) was fully set up, leading to uneven and uncoordinated implementation. There is therefore an urgent need for a communication plan for good practices that will allow these instruments to be effectively operationalized.

What are the causes of the problem?

Problem tree method:

• Central problem: Lack of training to adopt the RGPC regulatory compliance plan;

• Cause: delay between the adoption of the instruments by the entities and the entry into operation of MENAC;

• Consequences: construction of corruption risk prevention plans in the image of management risk plans, without adaptation; codes of conduct that are not very robust and still in the field of soft law; reporting channels set up to allow complaints to be made, but without effective analysis and monitoring mechanisms.

What results do we want to achieve by implementing this commitment?

Improvement of the instruments of the RGPC regulatory compliance plan:

• Standardization of procedures;

• Clarity in the objectives to be achieved;

• Training those responsible for regulatory compliance;

• Improvement of instruments;

• More efficient corruption prevention.
