The LCACC team on Thursday, April 20, 2023 held meetings with the Independent Information Commission (IIC), Governance Commission, and the Liberia Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative at their offices separately to discuss and provide more details on the Transparency & Integrity Index for possibilities in which these institutions can get involved and strengthen collaborations for the full implementation of the project.
The Transparency & Integrity Index seeks to enhance good governance by making public institutions as transparent as possible. The TII also aimed to promote transparency, monitor public sector expenditure and strengthen the integrity mechanism of public institutions in Liberia. LCACC is currently developing a standardized methodology handbook that will be used to assess public sector institutions. The methodology handbook seeks to provide a detailed explanation of the variables and the scoring criteria for the evaluation and assessment of openness and transparency of public institutions.
As the pioneer edition of the TII in Liberia, the 2023 assessment for Government Ministries, Agencies and Commissions (MACs) and other government institutions will be conducted around the following six (6) thematic areas: Website Integrity, Fiscal Transparency, Open Procurement, Anti-Corruption, Citizens Engagement/ Responsiveness and Human Resources and Inclusion.
Liberia CSOs Anti-Corruption Coalition with technical support from the Center for Fiscal Transparency & Integrity Watch (CeFTIW-Nigeria) is expected to launch the median edition of its Transparency & Integrity Index (TII) for Liberia. The Transparency & Integrity Index (TII) was born out of the need to strengthen existing preventive mechanisms in combating corruption in Liberia.
LCACC is expected to meet with other public sectors institutions including the Ministry of Finance & Development Planning, Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission, Financial Intelligence Agency of Liberia and the General Auditing Commission.
