THE OECD Report
Integrity Review has praised Brazil for having developed institutions and
practices that enhance integrity across the public administration. The report -
presented in Brasilia by OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurria - marks the first
time that the integrity framework of a G20 country is reviewed by the
OECD.
The OECD review focuses on Brazilian action in
four key areas: promoting transparency and citizen engagement, implementing
risk-based internal control systems, embedding high standards of conduct among
public officials and enhancing integrity in public procurement.
Three case studies – on Brazil's federal tax
administration, on the Family Grant conditional cash transfer programme, and on
the National STD/AIDS Programmes – highlight significant differences in the
implementation of integrity measures within public organisations. The case
studies show that integrity authorities should provide more practical “how to”
guidance and tools to improve performance in individual public organisations,
parallel to government-wide initiatives.
