On 11-12 and 22-23 October 2024, the OSCE Programme Office in Dushanbe supported two two-day training sessions focused on integrity and anti-corruption for 38 representatives from the education and health sectors, including from relevant ministries and departments. The training sessions were conducted by eight trainers from the Academy of Public Administration (APA) in Dushanbe at the APA's Professional Development Center for Employees in Charge of Combating Corruption.  

During the sessions, participants were introduced to the key elements of the main strategic policy document, the State Anti-Corruption Strategy until 2030, as well as national anti-corruption legislation, including the 2020 Law on Combating Corruption and the 2012 Law on Anti-Corruption Screening of Normative-Legal Acts and Draft Normative-Legal Acts. The training also addressed social and psychological aspects of corruption, corruption risk analysis, and international best practices.

This initiative is part of the ongoing support provided by the OSCE Programme Office in Dushanbe to Tajikistan in promoting good governance and implementing the State Anti-Corruption Strategy in line with international standards.
