| Output/Results |
Activity 8.1 (Carry out studies evaluating the effectiveness of anti-corruption measures implemented in recent years, including criminal law measures, the public information act, the Code of Ethics):
In June 2009 a Turkish short-term expert completed and submitted a report that reviewed the effectiveness of key measures implemented in recent years, such as the reforms of the Code of Ethics (issued by the Council of Ethics for the Public Service), the Public Information Act (i.e. the Law about the Right to Access to Information) and Criminal Legislation (i.e. the new Penal Code).
Activity 8.2:
Drawing on the results of the analyses produced under Activity 8.1, a Background review and a Corruption Report concerning the development of new proposals for further anti-corruption measures and strategies and the coordination of measures to promote ethics with other anti-corruption measures were prepared.
Activity 8.3:
In November 2009, a Background Review and a Corruption report were completed. The Background Review was produced to provide the context for the Corruption report by considering various academic, practitioner and media (English-language) sources, including work for this project, on corruption in Turkey before assessing past and current initiatives to address corruption. The Background Review was structured as follows:
•Corruption: Perceptions and Surveys
•Civil Society
•Academic Reviews
•External Reviews
•Turkey – Anti-Corruption Initiatives
The Corruption report was intended to provide an overall picture of corruption in Turkey and make relevant proposals for the management, coordination and monitoring of anti-corruption strategies. Since the Prime Ministry Inspection Board had prepared a national strategy, the Corruption report sought to comment on and also facilitate its progress and implementation. The Corruption report covered:
•Corruption: Findings From The Background Review
•Previous And Current Anti-Corruption Initiatives: Contents And Assessment
•Setting The Context For Anti-Corruption Strategies
•Developing The Ethical Environment For Anti-Corruption Strategies
•Recommendations For Future Prevention Strategies And Improved Management, Coordination And Monitoring Of Anti-Corruption Strategies
Activity 8.4:
On 25 November 2009, the TYEC project's closing Conference was held. The Conference was partly dedicated to the presentation of the Corruption Report and suggestions for the measures for the prevention of Corruption in Turkey.
