Deputy Secretary General’s Foreword
Since WCO Members declared their commitment to combating corruption and building integrity in Customs, the WCO has been working towards finding practical ways to support its Members’ efforts in this regard.
Now more than ever, as the world faces new social and economic challenges, combatting corruption in Customs is critical to maintain trust in and security of public institutions.
In such context, the WCO’s Anti-Corruption & Integrity Promotion (A-CIP) Programme, with funding from the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) is hosting a web series on various topics relating to Customs and integrity. Guest speakers from WCO Secretariat and Membership are invited to discuss issues concerning the fight against corruption in Customs and provide insights into key WCO integrity tools and instruments, as well as the importance of related areas such as gender equality and diversity or the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA).
I trust that Customs administrations, other international organizations and representatives of the private sector alike will find those episodes useful and insightful, and will help generate further discussion around the topic of integrity in Customs.
