As the first global anti-corruption treaty, the UNCAC provides a key platform for donors in the field of anti-corruption and good governance. It can be used to set standards in donor countries, to guide donor agencies’ own practices as well as to set standards in recipient countries. It provides a useful framework to guide development assistance for anti-corruption programmes. A number of international initiatives and platforms focus on facilitating the UNCAC ratification and implementation process. These include the UNODC Global Programme Against Corruption (GPAC) and other initiatives led by UNDP, OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) and its network on Governance (GOVNET), the ADB and Transparency International.
