UN Convention against Corruption
UNCAC is the only globally-agreed framework on combating corruption. Learn more about its content and processes, and about related international agreements.
UNCAC sets a comprehensive benchmark for anti-corruption laws, institutions, and actions of ratifying countries. UNCAC commitments can be a valuable basis for national anti-corruption agendas and donor dialogue and assistance, but its range—from anti-corruption agencies to criminalization to asset recovery—also demands priority-setting. The UNCAC review mechanism can shape some priorities, but the specific country context is equally important.
Some highlights from this U4 Theme Page include:
- A quick guide to UNCAC for ambassadors and other high-level officials and overview for other aid practitioners
- Using UNCAC gap analyses to identify reform priorities
- Analysis of UNCAC’s relevance to justice sector reform

Institutional Arrangements to Combat Corruption: A Comparative Study
This comparative study of institutional arrangements to combat corruption, which covers 14 countries, is aimed at providing an overview of the various options available in this regard as well as discussing the advantages and disadvantages of these various options. The study provides a useful overview of different modalities used in different countries, and thus offers a menu of options and solutions for other countries in the region and beyond, based on a thorough understanding of the local political, social and economic situation. The study precedes and complements another study that is currently being undertaken by the Bureau for Development Policy (BDP) on anti-corruption laws in a selected number of countries.
