(14 February 2023, ACRC)

The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission(ACRC) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) held a policy training webinar on the Clean Portal sharing project on February 14 for UNDP Country Offices (CO) in Mongolia, Uzbekistan, and Kosovo.

The training was organized to provide insight into developing action plans for the improvement of each reporting system of the three partner countries of the project based on the practices of operation of Korea’s Clean Portal, a digital corruption and public interest violation reporting system.

* Clean Portal: digital corruption and public interest violation reporting system that allows any citizens to conveniently file a report on corrupt behaviors and violations of public interest

Following the project inception meeting of the Clean Portal sharing in November 2022, partner countries compared and analyzed their reporting systems and established plans to improve them based on the detailed data of Clean Portal provided by the ACRC.

The policy training for UNDP COs was disseminated in local languages for the Independent Authority Against Corruption (IAAC) of Mongolia, the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (APC) of Kosovo.

The focus of the improvement differs depending on each country’s policy context. Mongolia has submitted the Law on the Legal Status of Whistleblowers to the National Assembly, focusing on the establishment of a whistleblower protection system.

Uzbekistan focuses on the “One-stop service” of Clean Portal and seeks to enhance the efficiency of its reporting system (eanticor.uz) established in July 2021, while Kosovo focuses on promoting the usability, such as “Report Guide” of Clean Portal.

* Report Guide: the function that allows reporters to conveniently fill in the reporting format by selecting types of reporting, types of violation, etc.

ACRC Assistant Chairperson of Planning and Coordination Office Lim Yoon-Ju said, “ACRC will do its best to ensure Korea's experiences of operating Clean Portal provide practical help for improving each country’s reporting system through the policy training.”
