RECOVER WITH INTEGRITY
Corruption thrives in times of crisis and the ongoing global pandemic has not been an exception either. During the COVID-19 health crisis, fighting corruption can mean the difference between life and death; adequate food or hunger; having a roof over one’s head or becoming homeless.
During the ongoing pandemic all States have taken significant measures to address the health emergency and to avoid a global economic collapse. They have mobilized billions in funds to procure medical equipment and provide an economic safety net for citizens and businesses in distress. But the urgent responses required during the pandemic create significant opportunities for corruption. Therefore this year’s theme emphasizes that an inclusive COVID-19 recovery can only be achieved with integrity and accountability.
To RECOVER with INTEGRITY, we need to stand #UnitedAgainstCorruption.
