Anticorruption

About the program

Corruption is one of the biggest risks associated with economic development and European integration of the countries of Western Balkan. Therefore CRPM works on corruption since its establishment. The organization is a member of the Anticorruption Platform – “Platform of civic organization for fight against corruption”.

As a part of the coalition of CSOs that fights against corruption CRPM contributes with research, analysis and advocacy in the three specific areas of its expertise: hidden economy as a form of corruption; gender and corruption; and corruption and environment. Most elaborated work of CRPM in this area has been the initiative for Open Government Partnership which enabled inclusion of civil society in the making of 2014 and 2016 OGP National Action Plans.
