Governance & Integrity Anti-Corruption Evidence (GI ACE) @giace.bsky.social · Jun 19

🔐Key points from our intervention

GRECO evaluations have good practices that are advocated for in the UNCAC space, but more is needed for CSOs to have a stronger voice. Consider:

- boosting transparency
- open access to evaluations
- inclusion of civil society in follow-up
