Project status

Goals and results

The project aims to produce a situational report 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 report of corruption to monitor any possible changes in the situation in the long term.

Starting points

In its Government Programme, the Finnish Government commits to promoting the rule of law and the fight against corruption within the EU. International recommendations have noted that anti-corruption structures and awareness of corruption need to be strengthened in Finland. In its recommendations, the OECD Working Group on Bribery (WGB) has encouraged increasing awareness and training across the criminal process.
