2 Lessons Learnt on Anti-Corruption from Korea and Around the World Objective January 2015, Seoul, Republic of Korea Holiday Inn Seongbuk, Seoul 2 aims to facilitate dynamic discussions on policies, strategies and institutional arrangements to prevent corruption in the public sector using Korea s recent experience as a reference, alongside the experiences from several countries around the world. The objective is to identify and consolidate lessons learnt for more effective anti-corruption interventions. Serving as a platform for peer-to-peer knowledge-exchange, the meeting is attended by government partners, UNDP practitioners, civil society experts and researchers from Korea and countries around the world, such as: Singapore, Indonesia, Bhutan, Vietnam, Thailand, China, Uganda, Ethiopia, Colombia, El Salvador, and Uzbekistan. The meeting will share lessons learnt and innovations on anti-corruption, and provide opportunities to build partnerships and find solutions to common challenges in the area of anticorruption. Key findings, suggestions and conclusions from the 2015 Seoul Debates will be fed into a study publication afterwards. is organized by UNDP Seoul Policy Centre (USPC) as part of its Development Solutions Partnership on anti-corruption (DSP). The DSP is a new approach for USPC to connect Korea with the wider UNDP network as a knowledge broker and facilitator and enhance the Korea-UNDP partnership on strategic development issues. Background Corruption remains a serious global challenge that impedes development and promotes inequality and injustice. Corruption undermines fundamental human rights, exacerbates poverty, and degrades the environment. It diverts money sorely needed by our societies for health care, education and other essential services. It increases the costs of doing business, distorts markets, and impedes economic growth. According to the World Bank, almost $1 trillion is paid in bribes globally each year. 3 Every year, developing countries lose up to $1 trillion through government corruption, criminal activity, and commercial tax evasion. People all around the world care about this issue. More than 7 million voters in UNDP s global My World survey have ranked honest and responsive governments among their top four priorities for the new post-2015 development agenda which member states will negotiate this year. Fighting corruption is a critical part not only of strengthening accountability and rule of law, but also of ensuring effective and efficient use of financial resources for development under this new framework. Historically, Korea struggled to address various forms of corruption, such as bribery offenses, political corruption, and collusion between politics and businesses throughout the industrialization period. Having made a rapid transition from one of the poorest aid-recipient country to a member of OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), however, Korea has 2 The Seoul Debates is a flagship platform of the for discussion on relevant issues of development policy, on an annual basis. The Seoul Debates 2013 focused on the issues of challenges of the middle-income countries, and the final report is available at: 3 See UNDP (2008), Corruption and Development: A primer. NY. 58
3 made significant achievements in tackling corruption as part of its democratization and governance reform processes. In recent years, Korea s successes in improving public service through anti-corruption measures and in innovative tools for corruption prevention have been recognized internationally, and relevant Korean institutions now share Korea s experience and knowledge abroad through various forums and training sessions. At the international level, adoption of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) in 2003, as the sole universal legally-binding instrument created a global standard for fighting corruption and mitigating corruption risks that undermine development effectiveness, and offers a unique opportunity to share experiences and to cooperate on issues directly related to its implementation. On the UNDP side, UNDP s niche and comparative advantages on anti-corruption come from its more-than-two decades of experience on governance as well as its work in more than 170 countries and territories with a dedicated global network of more than 300 governance and anti-corruption focal points. UNDP renewed its commitment to help programming countries prevent corruption with the approval of UNDP s Global Anti-corruption Initiative (GAIN) ( ), which builds on the lessons learnt from the previous anti-corruption global programme ( ). With its longstanding engagement on strengthening institutions and supporting governance reforms, UNDP is increasingly applying its governance approach to preventing corruption by integrating anti-corruption with other areas of governance support such as public administration reform, legal reforms, local governance, youth and women s empowerment, and strengthening civil society and media. In Asia, UNDP s work on anticorruption benefits from UNDP Bangkok Regional Hub as well as from its policy centers in Singapore (Global Centre for Public Service Excellence, GCPSE) and in Seoul (Seoul Policy Centre, USPC). USPC began its work in January 2011 to broker new partnerships between Korea and the developing world through UNDP networks by representing UNDP in Korea and supporting the country in important global development issues. Rationale There is no universal model of successful anti-corruption policies, and knowledge exchange alone does not and cannot lead to direct replication in toto, owing to different political, socioeconomic and legal contexts. Nevertheless, this does not stop us from identifying and sharing experiences and lessons learnt, as to what works and doesn t and why. From this perspective, Korea s anti-corruption experiences together with the experience from various countries regarding corruption prevention policies and reforms in the public sector can provide useful reference points to learn and have a more sound understanding of what works and what does not in different contexts. Proceedings and Expected Outputs will promote a discussion about policies, strategies and institutional arrangements to tackle corruption in the public sector based on Korea s recent experience, as well as experiences from at least 10 countries around the world, in order to identify and consolidate lessons learnt for more effective anti-corruption interventions. The discussion will be organized at two different levels. The first day consists of a high-level policy dialogue, country presentations and thematic sessions, focused on progress and lessons learnt in terms of anti-corruption policy reform and implementation. On the second day, the discussion is organized around as an expert round-table meeting that will look into certain components of Korea s anti-corruption experiences (i.e. policies, strategies, and institutional arrangements), as well as common political and institutional challenges in anti-corruption efforts around the world, so as to draw lessons learnt and to identify opportunities for the implementation of these lessons in other contexts. These discussions will be consolidated into a USPC study paper 59
4 to be taken forward in the context of the Development Solutions Partnership (DPS) on anticorruption. Expected outputs of the meeting are as follows: 1. Build up a platform of peer-to-peer knowledg e-sharing and consolidation of critical reflections among experts and practitioners on the lessons learnt on effective anticorruption strategies and necessary institutional arrangements, drawing from the comparative experiences of Korea and other countries around the world; and 2. Identify strategic opportunities and means of building partnerships on anti-corruption to facilitate the implementation of the lessons learnt as well as the application of good practices shared in this meeting.
