Tajikistan Takes Steps to Prevent Financial Crimes with OSCE Assistance

Combating Corruption and Strengthening Institutions

In its ongoing effort to combat corruption and build democratic institutions, Tajikistan is working closely with the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) to strengthen its anti-corruption and anti-money laundering efforts. The Programme Office of the OSCE has been playing a key role in this endeavor.

Enhancing Institutional Frameworks

The office works collaboratively with the government and civil society organizations to enhance institutional, strategic, and legal frameworks that combat corruption. This includes:

  • Developing Tajikistan’s new National Anti-Corruption Strategy in partnership with non-governmental actors
  • Monitoring the impact of the strategy and integrating international anti-corruption standards into its framework

Strengthening Institutions and Preventing Corruption

The OSCE Programme Office also works closely with institutions such as:

  • The Anti-Corruption Agency
  • The Academy of Public Administration
  • The National Bank of Tajikistan

to enhance ethics and integrity among public servants, prevent conflicts of interest, and develop sustainable solutions for anti-money laundering activities.

Collaboration with Civil Society

In addition to working with government agencies, the OSCE Programme Office places a strong emphasis on collaboration with civil society in combating corruption. This includes:

  • Helping establish the Coalition of Civil Society Organizations of Tajikistan on Transparency and Anti-Corruption
  • Assisting in capacity-building and awareness-raising efforts through various activities

Building a Corruption-Free Society

These initiatives are part of Tajikistan’s broader effort to strengthen its institutions and promote transparency and accountability within the country. The OSCE Programme Office will continue to provide support as Tajikistan works towards a more democratic and corruption-free society.
