The Togolese authorities have put in place, through the High Authority for the Prevention and Fight against Corruption and Similar Offenses (HAPLUCIA), a national strategy for the prevention and fight against corruption and similar offences.
This strategy, presented last week in Lomé to the country’s various socio-economic actors and technical and financial partners, is divided into three main areas, in particular the strengthening of the legal and institutional framework for the fight against corruption, the mobilization of all stakeholders, as well as strengthening integrity, transparency and quality in public administration.
“Togo has undertaken a series of reforms from a normative, institutional, but also procedural point of view in order to fight against corruption. This document allows us today to have an orderly, coordinated and standardized framework », said the Minister of Human Rights, Citizenship Training and Relations with the Institutions of the Republic, Christian Trimua, when presenting the strategy.
For his part, the president of HAPLUCIA, Essohana Wiyao, affirmed that his institution will « continue the mobilization of Togolese citizens against corruption », specifying that « education modules will be adopted in the implementation of the new strategy ». , soon, in order to involve children in the national initiative.
The participants in the meeting were encouraged to implement this new tool to put an end to the scourge of corruption on the national territory.
Togo had ratified the United Nations Convention against Corruption in July 2005. The development of its national anti-corruption strategy, which took two years, benefited from the collaboration of the national institute of statistics and economic studies and Demographics (INSEED) and the support of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Togo.
