Meeting of the Working Group on Integrity in Public Governance

 

Place: The 16th NISPAcee Conference, Bratislava, Slovak Republic

Date: May 15-17, 2008


Theme: Integrity Management
 
The group decided to continue in activities and meet at the NISPAcee conference in Bratislava 2008. The possibilities of a joint work for a publication is now under discussion. Also the possibility of forming a learning partnership is on its way (NISPA is very much asked to join or take the lead in such a network).The team spirit in the WG  was very good, there were extensive exchanges between presenters and participants as well as among the participants.
 

In the working group, several dimensions of "Integrity Management” were discussed. After a joint introduction of the programme and the participants, during the first presentations on Thursday 15th May, the group heard about and discussed the different problems in public procurement - the experience and the recommendations. We also discussed the possibility of a handbook and guidelines for Integrity Management. The 2nd day began with a discussion on ethics. We spoke about the demands on ethical behaviour in the public service and especially on decision-making. Following this, there was a discussion on the ethics of taxpayers. In the afternoon, the idea for a handbook and guidelines were discussed and the first ideas were collected. During the last working block on the 17th of May, the group came together to present and discuss an IT tool for procurement in Serbia. The tool, based on the regulations and recommendations for public procurement, showed the possibility to influence ethic behaviour through instruments such as this IT solution. In the last presentation, the current situation in different countries for combating corruption was analysed and discussed.

Activities in 2006
 
Meeting of the Working Group on Integrity in Public Governance

Place: The 14th NISPAcee Conference, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Date: May 11-13, 2006

 

The working group collected the different existing research papers, practical reports and presentations in the field of integrity. The members of the Working Group sought to build connections between reflective practitioners and engaged scholars in the Ethics/Integrity field, as a matter of priority.


Therefore the presentations showed the different approaches in law, strategies, ethics and training in different countries. Various evaluations and scientific researches were made in different countries. As a result it shows what remaining tasks in the field of Integrity management have to be undertaken. As a main result it gets clear that there is a common understanding of Integrity Management, but on the other hand the transfer into practise has to do with the background of the country the tradition and the current situation.
Even that the main instruments are similar the practical approach and result is quite different.
