UNDP SAEK Integrity Plan for Municipality of Prishtina

UNDP SAEK Integrity Plan for Municipality of Prishtina

August 31, 2014

Kosovo public institutions face corruption risks that may adverse effects on their functioning and public trust. Integrity Management System (IMS) is developed to assist institutions to systematically address indentified integrity risks, with the goal of strengthening institutional resistance to corruption and thus, reducing corruption levels. For this purpose, UNDP jointly with Kosovo Anti-Corruption Agency (KAA), are developing IMS to identify public institutions most vulnerable to corruption and to install integrity planning in their daily work. The development of IMS will be assisted continuously by UNDP to KAA and other relevant institutions to ensure national ownership of the process. In the light of this work, UNDP and KAA have supported the Municipality of Prishtinë/Priština to develop and adopt the Integrity Plan. According to Kosovo’s Anti-Corruption Strategy 2013 – 2017 adopted by the Kosovo Assembly, all public institutions are required to develop and implement the IMS. Nonetheless, Municipality of Prishtinë/Priština is the first local government in Kosovo to implement and adopt such a plan. In addition, the Plan contains a risk register mapping out corruption vulnerabilities in all the departments of the Municipality.
