In the context of the European Economic Area (EEA) grant programme “International police cooperation and the fight against crime”, the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau has received support for the implementation of the project “Support for the establishment of a whistle-blowing system in Latvia”.
The aim of the project is to promote public involvement in reporting corruption and other latent crimes, while providing citizens with a secure and convenient reporting channel, as well as improving the competence of the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau in detection and investigation of corruption crimes.
Within the framework of the project, three significant activities are scheduled to be carried out by 30 April, 2024:
- Developed online whistle-blowing platform.
- Carried out two social campaigns to promote public awareness.
- Implemented measures to strengthen the investigation and analytical capacity of the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau.
Support for implementation of the project was received from the EEA Grants 2014-2021 programme “International police cooperation and the fight against crime”. Within the framework of the EEA grant programme, the Ministry of Interior acts as a programme manager, while the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau is the project implementer.
