Organizers of integrity are the partner of the Corruption Prevention Commission
On January 13-14, 2022, a workshop was held with the participation of more than 60 organizers on the integrity of public administration system bodies.
The Chairwoman of the Corruption Prevention Commission Haykuhi Harutyunyan, The Acting Director of the Strategy and Program Office of the Agency for International Development in Armenia Julie Pekovsky, the Head of USAID's "Integrity of Armenia" program Lawrence Held delivered opening remarks at the workshop.
Haykuhi Harutyunyan greatly emphasized the role of the organizers of the integrity of state administration bodies in the prevention of corruption in our country. She expressed hope that this workshop will not only answer many questions of integrity organizers but will also be a good start for further cooperation.
"Discussion in this format is extremely important for us, as it forms the basis for further cooperation between the Commission and organizers on integrity issues. At the same time, we announce that the Commission sees you as a reliable partner in the fight against corruption, perhaps the greatest evil for our country. We hope that by making joint efforts, we will be able to increase the trust and sympathy of citizens towards public servants in the Republic of Armenia and we will achieve our universal goal of eliminating corruption as much as possible through preventive actions step by step," said Haykuhi Harutyunyan.
During the workshop, reference was made to the functions and role of the Corruption Prevention Commission, the Model Code of Conduct for Public Servants in Armenia (the purpose, structure and connection with the activities of the organizers of integrity issues), as well as the declaration system.
After the speeches of the speakers, the participants of the workshop presented their concerns in a question-and-answer format, which were mainly related to the code of conduct, the declaration system and other topics related to the activities of the Commission, heard answers about their solutions, and also informed about what to do next.
The workshop was carried out with the support of the "Integrity in Armenia" program of USAID.
