This second regional workshop is part of the activities implemented by UNODC under the project “Safeguarding Sport from Corruption: Asia and the Pacific” (2019-2023), generously funded by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport, and Culture (DG EAC).
With a focus on match-fixing and the prevention of corruption in sports events, the project raises awareness and builds capacities within these areas. The project will ultimately facilitate the exchange of good practices to mitigate corruption risks in sport among governments, sports organizations and other relevant stakeholders in Asia and the Pacific.
The overall purpose of the regional workshop is to enhance operational cooperation, coordination and information, awareness raising and communication between relevant actors. The knowledge acquired during the workshop will help the beneficiaries from the ASEAN deliver on future work on tackling corruption and crime in sport.
