Brief description:

The project’s objective is to assist Uzbekistan in achieving its international commitments in regard to combating corruption by facilitating collective action against corruption in the business sector. It is based on the OSCE Ministerial Council Declaration on Strengthening Good Governance and Combating Corruption, Money-Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism of 7 December 2012 (MC .DoC/2/12).

It is proposed to start with one of the largest state-owned enterprises of Uzbekistan within the framework of this project. The project provides for the support of such enterprises in the pilot implementation of the anti-monopoly compliance function.
