NATIONAL INTEGRITY STRATEGY

PURPOSE

The National Integrity Strategy sets out the government’s plan to address system weakness in domestic institutions, highlighted by the UN as a key driver of corruption. The NIS reflects the government’s stated belief that “the fight against corruption cannot be won by prosecution alone; an inclusive approach based on values, morals, ethics, and integrity is necessary.”

​

NATIONAL INTEGRITY STRATEGY:

​Under the NIS, the government aims to:​

1. Have Parliament emerge as a place for fair and rational debate for law-making

2. Ensure that local government is people-oriented, accountable, transparent, and independent

3. Continue to foster an environment where civil society remains articulate, non-partisan, and vocal about national integrity, so that citizens can effectively demand transparency and accountability from public institutions
