UNODC promotes international workshop

Asunción, 5 July 2018 - Within the framework of the Transparency and Anti-corruption project, in coordination with the National Anti-Corruption Secretariat and the National Secretariat for Information and Communication Technologies, three "Training for the Construction of Corruption Risk Maps" workshops were developed, addressed to the heads of the Transparency and Anti-corruption Units (UTA) from different public institutions, including autonomous, self-sufficient and decentralized entities; in addition to a workshop with the objective of monitoring and evaluating the construction of corruption risk maps, in which UTA officials trained in 2016 participated in the framework of UNODC cooperation with the Republic of Paraguay.

The Corruption Risk Map is an instrument that allows the prediction of the existence of corruption in public institutions and determines both the probability of occurrence and the impact they may cause. It is, among many others, a specific type of corruption prevention measure.

The closing ceremony and certification was led by the Minister of the National Anti-Corruption Secretariat (SENAC), María Soledad Quiñónez; accompanied by the Minister of the National Secretariat for Information and Communication Technologies (SENATICS), David O. Campos; Transparency and Anticorruption programm coordinator of UNODC, Pablo Cuevas; and the officer in charge of the Political Section of the embassy of the Republic of Germany, Carola Türksch.
