| Summary: | This report collects and presents
available information about corruption issues facing the
Philippines, ongoing anticorruption efforts in and outside
the government, and suggested elements for a national
anticorruption strategy, drawing on global experience. The
report proposes a nine-point approach to fighting corruption
in the Philippines. 1) Reducing opportunities for corruption
by policy reforms and deregulations; 2) reforming campaign
finance; 3) increasing public oversight; 4) reforming budget
processes; 5) improving meritocracy in the civil service; 6)
targeting selected departments and agencies; 7) enhancing
sanctions against corruption; 8) developing partnerships
with the private sector; and 9) supporting judicial reform.
These initiatives, which are already underway as isolated
elements, must be unified under one concerted program, a
strong leadership and management structure, and a strong
partnership with the private sector, civil society, donors,
the congress, and judiciary. |
