Nada Abu Nasr The Public Authority for Combating Corruption, “Nazaha,” organized training workshops for the “Adaa” project to activate public service ethics and enhance institutional integrity in the public sector. The workshops were attended by representatives of work teams from 36 government entities and approximately 150 participants, marking the launch of the project’s fourth phase.

Nazaha stated that the fourth phase aims to consolidate the principles of integrity, transparency, and public service ethics, while strengthening institutional practices that support governance and prevent corruption. It added that the training workshops saw the participation of 36 government entities across four levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond. All participating entities begin at the Bronze level and progressively advance to subsequent levels upon meeting the requirements of each stage. This approach contributes to building an integrated institutional system that consolidates public service ethics and enhances institutional integrity, following sequential stages that ensure sustainability and continuous development.

The authority clarified that these workshops are part of the project’s plan to qualify work teams in participating entities and enhance their readiness to implement its requirements according to the approved methodology. This involves outlining the project’s objectives, implementation mechanism, roles and responsibilities, timeline, and requirements for each phase, thereby standardizing concepts and strengthening teams’ capacity to apply requirements efficiently and effectively.

Nazaha emphasized its commitment to providing continuous technical and advisory support to participating entities throughout the project’s implementation period. This support is delivered through specialized monitoring teams, ensuring timely resolution of challenges, answering inquiries, and assisting entities in fulfilling project requirements and achieving their targets, based on the principle of partnership and integration with government entities.

It noted that the project’s success depends on effective cooperation between Nazaha and participating entities, as well as the pivotal role played by work teams in leading implementation efforts within their respective entities. This contributes to achieving the project’s objectives, consolidating a culture of institutional integrity, and supporting the trajectory of development and excellence in the public sector.

In this context, Yasmeen Al-Sharhan, Director of the “Adaa” Project and Coordinator of Collaboration with Civil Society Organizations at the Authority, explained that the project spans four years and relies on participating entities fulfilling progressive requirements covering administrative, training, and awareness aspects, in addition to measuring institutional awareness levels through approved surveys and indicators.

She added that the project aims to enhance institutional excellence, consolidate public service ethics, raise professional competence, and address administrative and legal gaps, while supporting governance, accountability, and corruption risk management and prevention systems within government entities.

She pointed out that the two-day training workshops were attended by more than 150 trainees representing government entities employing approximately 170,000 staff members, reflecting the project’s broad scope and its importance in supporting institutional reform efforts and consolidating a culture of integrity in the government work environment.

She concluded by emphasizing that the “Adaa” project represents one of the pioneering national initiatives aimed at transforming integrity values from theoretical concepts into sustainable institutional practices. This is achieved by building work environments based on commitment, transparency, and governance, which positively impacts the quality of government performance and the efficiency of services provided to citizens and residents.
