Atlanta, The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is set to play a pivotal role in the 10th Session of the Conference of the States Parties to the UN Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC). The conference, hosted by the United States Government, coincides with the 2023 International Anti-Corruption Day and marks the twentieth anniversary of the UNCAC.

According to United Nations Development Programme, the UNDP’s participation will include several key events. These include an official statement at the UNCAC Plenary, a high-level segment side event focused on combating corruption to protect the environment, and a high-level dialogue on advancing anti-corruption outcomes across multilateral fora. Additionally, the UNDP and the Oversight and Anti-Corruption Authority of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Nazaha) will jointly launch a new global initiative for measuring corruption.

The UNDP’s engagement at the CoSP to UNCAC spans a range of dates and events, including pre-event symposia on technological innovation in anti-corruption, discussions on public funds integrity, receptions, and ministerial-level meetings. These engagements demonstrate UNDP’s commitment to addressing corruption comprehensively, ranging from environmental protection to public health and economic governance.
