To assist OSCE member-states in their endeavors, this booklet provides examples of best practices from the OSCE region and beyond. The described case studies are not meant as made-to-order solutions for fighting corruption. Rather, they are narrative examples whose lessons can be applied as individual country circumstances allow. The booklet is addressed to legislators, public officials, media, NGOs, business circles and civil society at large.

Concrete "best practices" are identified in areas such as improving the capacity of government to produce high-quality analysis, applying analytical methods including benefit-cost analysis, collecting data, and consulting with the public to ensure that estimates are realistic.

Of all government activities, public procurement is most vulnerable to corruption. As public procurement is a key economic activity of governments - estimated at around 15% of GDP, this has a Major impact on how taxpayers' money is spent.
This publication offers practical insights into how the profession of procurement is evolving to cope with the growing demand for integrity, drawing on the experience of procurement practitioners as well as audit, competition and anti-corruption specialists.
The book provides, for the first time, a comparative overview of practices meant to enhance integrity throughout the whole procurement cycle, from needs assessment to contract management. It also includes numerous 'elements of good practice' identified not only in OECD countries but also in Brazil, Chile, Dubai, India, Pakistan, Romania, Slovenia and South Africa.

International anti-corruption treaties, including the UN Convention against Corruption, require from the member states to establish - or to ensure existence - of two types of anti-corruption institutions: one of them to prevent corruption and the other to combat corruption through law enforcement. The treaties also establish standards for such anti-corruption institutions - they should be independent, specialised and have sufficient resources to meet their challenging tasks.
The book analyses the main functions of prevention and combating corruption and discusses practical ways necessary to ensure independence, specialisation and resources of anti-corruption bodies.
The book further studies different forms of specialisation which exist in different countries and provides description of 14 anti-corruption agencies from around the world (e.g. Hong Kong, Latvia, Spain, Romania, Norway, the UK, France and Slovenia), including preventive, law-enforcement and combined or multi-purpose anti-corruption agencies.
