Current Commitment to SDG16+

Summary of commitment:

We participate in the fight against corruption by publishing on our social networking platforms the administrative procedures where citizens can access fixed prices for different services. With access prices, citizens will no longer be in the dark when a public official asks for bribes, and they will be able (and are encouraged) to declare the name of the institution where public officials are trying to ask them for bribes.

The fight against corruption and impunity. 5. The denunciation of cases of misappropriation and mismanagement of public resources. 6. The constitution of a file to act as a civil party in economic crimes. 7. Monitoring the implementation of the Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation Policy (PISE). 8.

Our work is to raise awareness of administrative procedures within public institutions. We have started our activities with ten (10) administrative procedures that are subject to the highest level of corruption. These are: obtaining ID and passport, public procurement, driver's license and police fines for drivers, customs procedures, obtaining license/title (land, mining ...), starting a business, creating a non-profit organization, permits (agriculture, livestock ...) border crossing procedures and access to health and education.

Plan on engaging in TAP's work as a Partner:
  • Interest in leadership/coordination opportunities within the TAP Network
  • TAP Network joint global advocacy

A COLLABORATIVE CAMPAIGN TO BRING THE WORK OF CIVIL SOCIETY ON SDG16+ TO THE 2019 HLPF.
