International Development Partners working in Nepal stand ready to forge a stronger partnership with Government,the private sector and civil society to collectively fight corruption which remains one of the major issues that hampers the development of Nepal and poverty alleviation. Its challenges are significant as the country strives for higher development and business activities. The United Nations Convention Against Corruption UNCAC is the paramount global framework for preventing combating corruption, and is a key instrument for joint efforts on anti corruption. The Government of Nepal has taken many positive steps to address the issue of corruption, including putting in place various legal reforms and anti corruption agencies. However, implementation of those measures needs to be enhanced in order to effectively tackle corruption, which was also noted in the recently published Corruption Perceptions Index 2014 of Transparency International. One of the challenges is to achieve more effective coordination and collaboration among stakeholders on preventive, promotional and punitive actions against corruption. Active engagement of civil society and media in a transparent process is crucial.
