Strengthening Fight against Corruption project -steering group

Goals and results

The project aims to produce a situational picture of corruption in Finland to serve as training material, as a tool for monitoring the corruption situation and as a basis for planning anti-corruption measures. It will also develop an online eOppiva training course on corruption for public officials. The general objective is to increase knowledge and awareness of corruption and of how to prevent and fight corruption, as well as to strengthen anti-corruption efforts carried out by public authorities.

A key project output will be a regularly updated situational picture of corruption to monitor any possible changes in the situation in the long term.
