NATIONAL ANTI-CORRUPTION ACTION PLAN

2018 AND 2019 MONITORING AND EVALUATION FRAMEWORK FOR DATA COLLECTION/ REPORTING NACAP

GUIDELINES FOR INDICATOR DATA COLLECTION/ REPORTING ON NACAP

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The National Anti-Corruption Action Plan (NACAP) was adopted in July 2014 for implementation by stakeholders, which include Public, Private and Not-For-Profit organizations and institutions.

In terms of implementation of NACAP by public sector organizations and institutions, the Office of the President (OoP) issued directives in March 2015 which, among others, provide that:

• All heads of institutions and leadership at all levels should take responsibility for their areas of oversight and ensure that measures are taken to combat corruption in their institutions, including implementation of roles specifically assigned to their institutions under NACAP;

• The Ministry of Finance should ensure that MDAs, MMDAs and all public sector institutions budget for the implementation of specific programmes assigned to them under NACAP, and

• Ministers, Chief Executives and Heads of Public sector institutions shall submit quarterly reports on the implementation of NACAP to the Monitoring and Evaluation Committee (MONICOM) at the CHRAJ, with copies to the Office of the President.

To assist in the assessment of the outputs or outcomes of the implementation of planned activities and generally assess the progress of implementation of NACAP in 2018, specific indicators have been developed under the four strategic objectives of NACAP.

These guidelines have been issued to assist implementing agencies report on the implementation of their planned activities under NACAP (both general and specific) on schedule, using the Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for data collection/ reporting NACAP.

2.0 ROLES UNDER NACAP

2.1 General Role

The General role is designed for implementation and reporting by ALL Implementing agencies and organizations, including public sector organizations, private sector and not-for-profit organizations.

2.2 Specific Role

The specific role is for implementation of specific activities by the lead and collaborating implementing agencies as applicable. The specific roles can be found in pages 54-90 of the main NACAP Document.

Therefore, at the end of every quarter, each implementing agency is expected to report on all the activities under the “General Roles” and some of the activities under the four strategic objectives.
