About the OECD Anti-Corruption Network for Eastern Europe and Central Asia

 

 

The OECD Anti-Corruption Network for Eastern Europe and Central Asia (OECD/ACN) is a regional outreach programme of the OECD Working Group on Bribery. The OECD/ACN is open to countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The main counterparts are the national governments and anti-corruption authorities of the participating countries. Civil society, business sector, international organisations and international financial institutions, as well as other countries take an active part in the OECD/ACN.

 

The OECD/ACN was established in 1998. Its main objective is to support its member countries in their efforts to prevent and fight corruption. It provides a regional forum for the promotion of anti-corruption activities, exchange of information, elaboration of best practices and donor coordination.The OECD/ACN operates through general meetings and conferences, sub-regional initiatives and thematic projects. 

 

Secretariat - The OECD/ACN Secretariat is based at the Anti-Corruption Division of the OECD Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs. The Secretariat is responsible for the development and implementation of the work programme.

Programme of Work - The OECD/ACN supports participating countries in their anti-corruption reform efforts, in particular the practical implementation of anti-corruption measures and effective enforcement of anti-corruption laws. The current programme of work was approved at the 24th OECD/ACN Steering Group meeting in March 2019. Programme of Work 2020-2024 

 

In 2021, the OECD Anti-Corruption Network Action for the Eastern Partnership was launched. This project provides assistance to the Eastern Partnership countries (EaP) by strengthening evidence-based anti-corruption policy development and enhanced implementation of anti-corruption reforms, reinforce law enforcement action against high-level and complex corruption and strengthen specific corruption-prone sectors in education and business.
