PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AGAINST CORRUPTION

INTRODUCTION

• Policies, control mechanisms and law

enforcement are vital elements in stamping out

corruption. But alone they are not enough.

• What needs to evolve is the behavior of all the

various stakeholders involved in the

procurement process.

• The challenge is how to apply these standards

across the diverse cultures in which we operate
