| The
National Integrity Workshop for the Russian
Federation was conducted on May 24-25 in
Moscow with the main purpose to build a consensus
for a National Integrity Strategy and Action Plan
for the RF involving all the key integrity pillars.
Another key objective of the workshop is to raise
awareness about the negative impact of corruption
in the country and the progress that has been made
in curbing it. The workshop developed a general
outline of a national integrity system within the
specific parameters of the RF. This was done by
drawing on past experiences and identifying all
the relevant actors in the society and what their
roles would be in establishing a program whereby
civil society can complement the efforts of government.
During the workshop, the issues of integrity and
ethics and their relation to corruption control
were addressed.

Agenda. For more information, contact
Ms.
Elena Panfilova, Director of the
TI-Russia.

The
Transparency through Participation project is
conducted by the United Nations Association of
Georgia in cooperation with Open Society Institute
Local Governance Program. The project is implemented
in the capital of Georgia,Tbilisi, and four regional
centers - Kutaisi, Gori and Rustavi.
TTP is based on the belief that: the concept
of civil society is evolving around the integrity
and transparency of all of its components; non-transparent
practices within any sector breeds corruption;
corruption is a social phenomenon and only through
civil participation can it be solved; fighting
corruption/promoting transparency is a bottom-up
process that has to be initiated by civil society
institutions, and carried out and promoted throughout
the country.
