The Council of Europe supports the Anticorruption Bureau of Georgia in consolidating its mandate in the field of preventing corruption through effective corruption risk assessment procedures and training of trainers’ programs.
In close coordination with the Bureau, a methodology was drafted on corruption risks assessment and management in state institutions and local municipalities. The document provides clear steps for the public institutions to assess corruption risks by identifying vulnerable areas, collecting and analysing data, designing mitigative and preventive measures as well as monitoring the implementation of anticorruption measures. The document includes templates to be used by public entities such as risk registries, samples of checklists for data collection processes as well as examples of red flags, risk factors and risks applicable to different sectors. The document takes the form of a general methodology which can be adapted to the specific needs of particular institutions.
Based on the developed methodology, a follow-up Training of Trainers (ToT) program on “Corruption Risk Assessment and Management in the Public Sector” was organised for the representatives of the Anticorruption Bureau in order to discuss relevant international standards and practices for identifying, assessing, mitigating and reporting corruption risks. The ToT aimed at supporting the practitioners of the Anticorruption Bureau to ensure the effective implementation of the developed methodology in public institutions.
This activity was organised in the framework of the project “Consolidating and Enhancing the Institutional and Operational Frameworks for the Prevention and Combatting of Corruption, Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing in Georgia” co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the Council of Europe in their Partnership for Good Governance III 2023-2027.
