New civil society report on Burundi: new anti-corruption strategy lacks implementation and political backing

A recent report authored by the The Anti-corruption and Economic Malpractice Observatory (Observatoire de Lutte contre la Corruption et les Malversations Économiques, OLUCOME) finds that provisions for the prevention of corruption and asset recovery (Chapter II and V of the UNCAC) have been largely adopted into the legal framework in Burundi, but that anti-corruption efforts have been hampered by a challenging national climate. The report is intended as a contribution to the UNCAC implementation review process in its second cycle, produced with technical and financial support from the UNCAC Coalition.
