ACT Meeting on Transparency and Anti-Curruption

Beirut, Lebanon, November 1-4, 2007

From November first to the Fourth, the Iraq Foundation completed a four day meeting on combating corruption and promoting transparency. This initiative is part of the Iraq Anti-Corruption and Transparency Project (ACT) launched in March 2007 and aims to support anti-corruption efforts by mobilizing Iraqi public opinion against corruption, encouraging transparency and accountability in government.

The meeting was held in Beirut, Lebanon and hosted a group of ten Iraqi parliamentarians and nine representatives of non governmental organizations that have been working on corruption issues across Iraq. An Iraqi general inspector from the Ministry of Reconstruction and Housing and a representative from Transparency International also participated in the meeting, which encouraged dialogue between the Iraqi and took advantage of Palestinian expert experience in the field of transparency and anti-corruption to strengthen the exchange of information and experiences in the field of corruption.

The meeting was held in partnership with the Iraqi Commission on Public Integrity and Transparency International’s Palestine chapter, the Coalition for Accountability and Integrity (AMAN).
