The Institute of Law at Birzeit University Organises a Training Workshop on Indicators of Corruption
including the concept of corruption, corruption indicators and measurements, and measurement techniques of corruption indicators. The training activity also covered the role of relevant bodies, government agencies, and civil society actors in a nationwide process of producing corruption measurement tools. In addition, the workshop introduced participants to the most common corruption measurements, including the Corruption Perceptions Index, Global Integrity Index and Worldwide Governance Indicators of the World Bank. The training session provided an overview of case studies, practical applications and examples on strengths and weaknesses of corruption measurements.
The training is a component of the Anti-Corruption Capacity Building Assistance in Palestine Project, implemented in partnership and cooperation between the IoL and Palestinian Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC), High Judicial Council (HJC) and Public Prosecution. The project is designed to support Palestinian anti-corruption actors and provide capacity building to relevant staff. The training event brought together 11 prosecutors and members of the Anti-Corruption Prosecution team.
The Anti-Corruption Capacity Building Assistance in Palestine Project is implemented over the period from April through late December 2013. Tailored to promote accountability and fight corruption in Palestine, the project is part of a joint programme of the United Nations Development Programme/Programme of Assistance to the Palestinian People (UNDP/PAPP) and EUPOL COPPS.
