Workshops to evaluate the execution of earmarked anti-corruption activities in the regions in 2024 have been holding in regional head quarters, under the coordination of experts from CONAC who together with regional authorities, heads of public and parapublic institutions and civil society activities. The Stakeholders have also been seeking ways to increase public engagement in the fight against corruption in the regions. It is noteworthy that the Regional Plans of Action for 2024, under review, were drawn up by the stakeholders themselves following the PrECIS Model, which requires anti-corruption actions in the domains of Prevention, Education, Condition, Incentive and Sanction.

Reacting after the meetings in the Adamawa and East Regions, the Chairman of CONAC, Rev Dr Dieudonné MASSI GAMS challenged Regional Stakeholders to be fully engaged in the fight against corruption.

Workshop participants were drilled on the new approaches in the fight against corruption and encouraged to use the knowledge in the implementation of the 2025 Action Plan which is already under-way.
