Webinar
Strengthening anti-corruption through Human Rights: Opportunities for action at the UNCAC
U4 Partner Forum:
This online event will explore why the convergence of anti-corruption and human rights is not only theoretically sound but also practically achievable. It will also highlight the need for the anti-corruption community to step up and integrate human rights language into upcoming UNCAC resolutions (CoSP, Doha, Qatar, 14–19 Dec, 2025).
Speakers will share conceptual insights, regional experiences, and global developments, alongside practical recommendations for advancing this agenda at the CoSP – including example formulations and ideas for specific resolutions. Participants will have the opportunity to engage directly through questions and discussion on ways forward.

Auditing and financial control
Auditing and controls are essential parts of public financial management. Supreme Audit Institutions play a visible role, and support to strengthen these institutions has amplified. These institutions can be subject to political interference, politicisation, and wing-clipping.
