Corruption is a cross-cutting issue with far-reaching negative impacts on development, from the distribution of resources to erosion of public trust in institutions and the rule of law to hampering investment. To achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development corruption must be tackled given the linkages across all the goals and its real life impacts.

 UNCAC and its review mechanism is the only internationally binding instrument and can measure progress towards the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 16. Therefore, UNODC has developed a manual on how CSOs have successfully contributed to the Convention and how they can further develop their expertise. Panelists  from Eastern Africa, Southeast Asia and Southeast Europe will present their cases in a workshop shared by UNODC. The event will be an opportunity to launch the publication which informs CSOs, governments and other interested parties on the potential entry points and best practises for engaging on the UNCAC.
