Project Summary

This is a capacity development RETA that will strengthen DMC knowledge in the use of tools and techniques for improving the delivery of transparent public services and preventing corruption. The outcome expected is the establishment of regional services to:

  1. provide training and support to DMCs in anticorruption preventive measures;
  2. promote the utilization of the citizen report card (CRC) to conduct social audits of public services; and
  3. promote utilization of continuous improvement and benchmarking (CIB) techniques to ensure that capacity, resources and people are managed to deliver effective, efficient, affordable and equitable public services.

The regional TA will be implemented in a manner that will allow for the outputs to be sustained beyond the project through specific institutional arrangements with the Eastern Regional Organization for Public Administration (EROPA) and Network of Asia-Pacific Schools and Institutes of Public Administration and Governance (NAPSIPAG), among others.
