Today, on April 7, the Cabinet of Ministers approved the Anti-Corruption Prevention and Combating Action Plan for 2026–2027. This policy planning document provides for a total of 19 measures in the field of corruption prevention and combating, the implementation of which has been assigned to the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau (KNAB) and other public administration institutions.
The aim of this national-level anti-corruption policy planning document is to strengthen honest, transparent, and public interest-oriented public administration by implementing anti-corruption measures that promote good governance, the rule of law, and compliance with ethical standards.
The Plan sets out four courses of action and four policy outcomes intended to achieve desirable long-term changes in public administration and society: increased public trust in public institutions; strengthened capacity of the public sector to identify, assess, and prevent corruption risks; enhanced integrity and oversight of public procurement; and improved public engagement as well as greater capacity of public administration institutions to detect and investigate corruption.
A total of 36 public administration institutions and six non-governmental organizations took part in drafting the Plan, jointly submitting more than 60 proposals. In order to achieve a shared vision of the measures to be implemented over the next two years, KNAB organized working group meetings and interinstitutional discussions.
The Plan is avaliable in Latvian only.
