The NII, which
was launched in collaboration with Al-Hayat Center for Civil Society
Development (Rased), targets approximately 100 bodies and institutions,
according to
Muhannad Hijazi, chairman of the JIACC, who stated that it aims to
support the commission’s efforts to combat corruption and foster an
anti-corruption public culture.
Hijazi told a
press conference that the project is part of the commission’s initiatives and
efforts to strengthen its partnership with the civil society, and promote a
culture of integrity and good governance that paves the way for sustainable
development.
He added that
the index is a step on the committee’s journey toward an automated work
methodology that saves time and effort, and provides a solid analytical
infrastructure that enables the decision maker to make informed and trustworthy
decisions without speculation.
Amer Bani Amer,
director general of Rased, described the indicator as “qualitative”, stating
that it will help identify the type, amount, and distribution of corruption
crimes across sectors and regions.
He stressed that the
project will assist in enhancing the skills of government and semi-government
employees, and pave the way for an annual national integrity report.
