OSCE supports conference on Tajikistan’s new national anti-corruption strategy

A conference reviewing the implementation status of Tajikistan’s anti-corruption strategy for 2013–2020 and introducing the new national anti-corruption strategy for 2021–2030, was held on 27 October 2021 in Dushanbe with the support of the OSCE Programme Office in Dushanbe.

The conference was organized jointly with Tajikistan’s Agency for State Financial Control and Fight against Corruption.

Some 110 participants from various ministries, prosecution, judiciary, international organizations and civil society attended the conference.

Tea Jaliashvili, Deputy Head of the OSCE Programme Office in Dushanbe said: “The OSCE provides a platform for dialogue on political and security issues and it is in a unique position to support its participating States in implementing and enforcing anti-corruption models and mechanisms. A strong co-operation between all stakeholders, government institutions, civil society, media, citizens and the international community is needed. Only with concerted efforts it is possible to combat corruption. Every NO to corruption is a YES to prosperity of the countries.”

“The continuation of a co-ordinated anti-corruption policy, involving all segments of society and government agencies to collectively prevent and fight against this negative phenomenon, is a sign of the formation of legal and cultural awareness in the population in the fight against corruption,” said Sultonzoda Sulaymon Said, Director of Tajikistan’s Agency for State Financial Control and Combatting Corruption. “In light of this policy in Tajikistan, special attention is paid to issues related to corruption and the grounds that create this practice, thus a series of laws, concepts, and strategies have been developed and a lot of work has been done to improve the anti-corruption policy.”
