On day one, forum participants deliberated on the anticorruption and integrity policies and practices in the Asia and Pacific region. They provided valuable insights on a wide array of anticorruption and integrity risk mitigation topics.

During the following two days, a capacity-building workshop on anticorruption and integrity was held. The training discussed the ADB’s anticorruption and integrity framework, procurement and bidding management, safeguard policy, asset and financial management, and integrity risks, and shared the PRC’s experiences in anticorruption and integrity. The session aimed to increase awareness of the ADB’s anticorruption and integrity framework and assist in skills building and developing the strategies for prevention and detection of fraud and corruption, and other integrity risks.
