Anti-Corruption Specialist Assists
Provedor’s Office in Reviewing Cases
USAID, through its partner Management
Sciences for Development (MSD), recently enlisted the expertise
of an anti-corruption investigation specialist to assist the
Provedor’s Office in reviewing its backlog of cases for
appropriate action and in the process improve the skills of
the staff to conduct preliminary reviews. Technical assistance
by Mr. Nasir Hadi, formerly with both the Human Rights and the
Anti-Corruption Commissions of Malaysia, enabled the Office
to conduct a preliminary evaluation of 30 cases in the anti-corruption
and good governance units. The Provedor is an independent institution
established by the Constitution with three mandates—human
rights, anti-corruption and good governance. USAID, through
MSD, has supported the office since it was established in 2005.
