For two decades, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has been helping make the world safer from drugs, organized crime, corruption and terrorism. We are committed to achieving health, security and justice for all by tackling these threats and promoting peace and sustainable well-being as deterrents to them. Because the scale of these problems is often too great for states to confront alone, UNODC offers practical assistance and encourages transnational approaches to action. We do this in all regions of the world through our global programmes and network of field offices.

Under the project “Identifying and mitigating corruption risks to strengthen peacebuilding efforts in Africa”, UNODC supports corruption risk assessment processes in public institutions in Sierra Leone, Somalia, and South Sudan by enhancing the capacity of anti-corruption authorities in the three countries to prevent, identify and respond to corruption risks.

Organize and co-facilitate corruption risk assessment and risk mitigation workshops in two pilot public institutions and facilitate endorsement of the corruption risk mitigation plans, ensuring that they are conflict and gender sensitive.
