UNDP Recruits Programme Analyst Anti-Corruption And Public Procurement
UNDP Recruits Programme Analyst Anti-Corruption And Public Procurement
Background
Corruption, usually defined as the transgression of formal rules governing the allocation of public resources in response to financial gain or political support has had a corrosive effect on the Nigerian society. It subverts the rule of law, undermines the collective welfare of the citizenry, and slows down development and growth. Among others, administrative delays to attract more bribes and lack of respect for due process in procurement and award of contracts have had deleterious consequences on Nigeria’s development process as captured by the World Bank Country Procurement Assessment Report in 2000 which noted that “about 50% of projects in Nigeria are dead even before they commence. …the projects are designed to fail because the objective is not to implement them, but to use them as vehicles for looting of the public treasury….Instead of adding value, they become economic drain pipes.”
At the heart of the reform of the Nigerian economy since 1999, has been the development of new anti-corruption measures and the strengthening of existing ones so as to reduce the impact of corruption on development and curb the growing culture of impunity. Consequently, support to anti-corruption institutions at the national level and putting procurement legislation in place at both federal and state levels have become key to UNDP’s partnership with the Nigerian government.
