Bojana Smartek, Acting Assistant Director of the Integrity and Anti-Corruption Sector, participated in the Second Expert Meeting, held in Laxenburg, from 27 to 29 August, organized by the International Anti-Corruption Academy (IACA), at which the Draft Methodology for Measuring the Effectiveness of Anti-Corruption Agencies was presented. The methodology was developed by IACA within the Global Measurement Program on Corruption (GMPC) in cooperation with practitioners and experts from anti-corruption agencies around the world, as well as experts from international organizations, institutes, and civil society organizations.
The development of a Methodology for Measuring the Effectiveness of Anti-Corruption Agencies is an important step towards improving the measurement of anti-corruption efforts, in line with international obligations. The data collected will enable agencies to measure their independence and performance through indicators based on international standards, as well as to share data to create a global overview useful for agencies, researchers and international partners.
The Second Global Conference on Harnessing Data to Improve Corruption Measurement, organized by IACA, UNDP and UNODC, will be held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, from December 2 to December 4, 2025. The methodology and results of the pilot study will also be presented during this conference.
