Structure and methodology
The Forum will start with an opening plenary session to address the main challenges and outline approaches and strategies for fostering integrity through good governance measures, in particular for enhancing government transparency and accountability.
Parallel workshop sessions will provide ample opportunities for structured dialogue on key building blocks of the Integrity Framework, namely on:
- Instruments, procedures, structures and good practices for building a coherent Integrity Framework; and
- Addressing risk areas for corruption, in particular at the public-private sector interface such as public procurement and contracting or conflict of interest.
Participants will exchange experiences on existing and emerging challenges,
innovative approaches and solutions for developing a culture of integrity
in public sector organisations. Participants will be invited to consider
tools and discuss conditions for their successful application in different
country contexts.
Each of the workshop sessions will start with short expert presentations
on national experience to set the scene for an open exchange of views on key
aspects of the workshop themes. Specific emphasis will be put on reviewing
concrete experiences from different perspectives with regard to socio-political
and administrative contexts in order to understand conditions for success.
Moderators will report back on key results of workshops at the plenary
session. At the closing session a panel discussion with different experts
will highlight the results and conclusions, as well as suggest steps for follow-up. The
closing of the Forum will be followed by an informal reception for all participants.
