The Administrative Control Authority (ACA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the International Anti-Corruption Academy (IACA) in Vienna, Austria. The MoU was signed by the head of (ACA), Abdullah Kaderbo, and the Academy’s dean, Slagana Taseva.
The agreement aims to develop joint activities, raise the efficiency of staff in investigation and auditing, and spread a culture of transparency through training, education, and research programs. It also seeks to exchange best practices and build capabilities, in addition to expanding the scope of cooperation with international and regional organizations in the areas of anti-money laundering and consolidating the principles of integrity and good governance.
The dean of the Academy expressed her pleasure with this partnership with Libya and the opportunities for research and training cooperation. It is worth noting that the International Anti-Corruption Academy, a leading institution in international anti-corruption cooperation, was founded in 2011 on the initiative of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the Republic of Austria, and the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF).
The signing ceremony concluded with the head of the Authority ratifying the agreement on behalf of the Libyan state, followed by a celebratory event and an introductory tour of the Academy’s building and its activities.
