Background

		Corruption is among the most pressing social and economic problems faced by the Kyrgyz Republic. Corruption is not only closely related to organized and economic crime but in general has a negative impact on the political and economic situation of the country. Corruption threatens the economic security of the country, undermining the competitiveness of domestic products, destroys market mechanisms leading to inefficient use of budget funds and huge material losses - both direct and indirect. In this regard, one of the main means of combatting corruption is the use of preventive measures aiming at forming intolerance towards corrupt behavior. This is reflected also in the National Anti-corruption Strategy that advocates for the implementation of anti-corruption education. In addition, the OECD Istanbul Anti-Corruption Action Plan 3rd Round of monitoring recommendation#4 indicates the following: “Assign an institution to develop targeted and practical awareness-raising and public education activities (about practical solutions, rights and duties of citizens when facing corruption) and to coordinate their implementation. Evaluate the outcomes and impact of public anti-corruption awareness-raising and education activities and use in subsequent activities”. In response to the above mentioned recommendation, functions to develop integrated approaches and actions for anti-corruption training and coordination of their implementation by public authorities were assigned to the Prime minister’s office of the Kyrgyz Republic (Decree #65 from January 27, 2017).
