Anti-Corruption

 

Our commitment

UNODC's main role will be to support partner countries to adopt and implement the UNCAC. It will also work with them to use the UNCAC as an analytical tool to assess partner countries' requirements as they move toward full compliance. It will seek to do this through providing technical support to translate the provisions of the UNCAC to build sustainable institutions and procedures. The RPF will focus its support on four main areas of work.
