MEC Monitoring of Ministry Anti-Corruption plans: Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation, 2018
The review found that the MRRD had not conducted a risk-assessment to identify the vulnerabilities to corruption and create a comprehensive plan which would mitigate all identified risks.
In addition, the MRRD committee that was assigned to develop the ACP was too small; and most of the key directorates were not involved in the process. Furthermore, MRRD has not communicated the ACP with lower-level employees since many of them did not have information about it. During the review, it was also observed that the Ministry has not assigned a management team to monitor implementation of the activities of the ACP, identify implementation gaps and report findings to the leadership of the Ministry.
The MRRD Anti-Corruption Plan has four objectives and nine activities among which three are fully implemented, three others are partially implemented, and the remaining two are not implemented.
There are some activities in the ACP that have been implemented in previous years, yet they are included in the ACP during the current year. Meanwhile, there are some activities that are implemented but are not documented.
