Nizahya concludes coordination meetings on Kuwait's Integrity and Anti-Corruption Strategy 2027–2033

The Public Authority for Combating Corruption (Nazaha) concluded a series of coordination and technical meetings with relevant government entities concerning the initiatives of the Kuwait Strategy for Enhancing Integrity and Combating Corruption for the period (2027–2033). These meetings were held in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), as part of Nazaha’s efforts to finalize and launch the strategy, strengthen national partnerships, and enhance institutional integration within the anti-corruption prevention and combat framework.

The meetings saw participation from national entities responsible for leading the strategic initiatives and contributing to their implementation. They served as a platform for technical dialogue, exchange of expertise and perspectives, discussion of proposed initiatives regarding their scope and expected outputs, clarification of roles and responsibilities between lead and supporting entities, and exploration of opportunities for integration with existing national projects and efforts.

Nazaha emphasized that these meetings embody a participatory approach based on the principle that enhancing integrity and combating corruption is a shared national responsibility. The success of the strategy relies on the integration of roles and synergy among national institutions, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of joint government action and contributing to the building of a more robust system capable of preventing and addressing corruption.

The Authority commended the participating entities for their engagement, as well as for the expertise, technical insights, and constructive proposals they provided, which enriched the discussions on strategic initiatives. It affirmed that national entities are not merely participants in the strategy’s preparation, but essential partners in shaping its initiatives, leading their implementation, and achieving results. This cooperation reflects the importance of institutional ownership and shared responsibility in realizing national objectives.

The Authority stressed that the upcoming phase will build upon the achieved coordination and mutual institutional understanding, with a focus on clear responsibilities, defining implementation requirements, and strengthening integration among entities. This will lay the groundwork for translating strategic directions into actionable and measurable national initiatives and projects that contribute to tangible and sustainable outcomes.

Nazaha concluded by expressing its appreciation to the participating national entities and the United Nations Development Programme for their cooperation and contributions. It affirmed that the partnership established during the strategy’s preparation constitutes a fundamental pillar for its successful implementation. Enhancing integrity, transparency, and the prevention and combat of corruption requires continued joint efforts and national synergy, which will support the efficiency of public institutions, bolster public trust in them, and contribute to realizing Kuwait’s aspirations for more effective and sustainable governance.
