BackThis Best Practice Paper draws on the experiences of Ombudsman institutions, which have incorporated anti-corruption functions to their core functions. It highlights some of the strategies that have been implemented and brought successful results in the fight against corruption by Ombudsman institutions with an anti-corruption function.
The IOI would like to thank the Office of the Ombudsman of Malawi for drafting a paper, which will be especially useful for multi-mandate institutions.
The IOI introduced the Best Practice Paper series with a view to providing guidance material on key features which inform strong and independent control mechanisms and to present and share best practices from Ombudsman offices around the world. Other papers in the IOI’s Best Practice Paper series include:
Issue 1 - Developing and reforming Ombudsman institutions
Issue 2 - Securing effective change
Issue 3 - Own initiative investigations
Issue 4 - Peer review guidance
Issue 5 - Giving voice to mental health patients
Issue 6 - Dealing with Challenging Behaviour
All Best Practice Papers are available on the IOI website. If your institution would be interested in developing a Best Practice Paper for this IOI publication series, please feel free to contact the IOI General Secretariat; we are always looking forward to receiving your proposals for topics.
