Government Integrity and Performance

"USAID believes that the struggle against corruption is one of the most important challenges addressed by the Dominican Republic. The transparency component of the [DPK implemented] project has, for 3 years, been a mechanism to bring this discussion to all the social spheres and to help the country deal with the problem of corruption in a public and effective way."

-Elena Brineman, USAID Mission Director/Dominican Republic

DPK learned early in our work with justice systems that the rule of law will prevail only if underlying issues of government integrity and corruption are also addressed. DPK has developed reforms to combat corruption, track financial resources, and investigate illicit enrichment of public officials. DPK has also developed programs in financial controls, auditing, procurement, and civil society advocacy that support open government and transparent processes. Our teams also work to focus on issues of grand corruption and measures that must be taken to reduce the costs to society of corruption.
