September 2021 - The world is still in shock about how the military disengagement of the West and the implosion of the Afghan government led to the Taliban victory, taking full control over almost the entire territory of Afghanistan within days. Many civilian endeavours of international assistance operating under a military umbrella ceased their operations.
Beyond the chaotic, and heart-breaking pictures, of the international evacuation operation leading up to the August 31 deadline, we are now focused on the humanitarian crisis in which the Afghan people find themsel...

汚職は民主主義とグッドガバナンスを弱体化し、政策決定の過程をゆがめ、説明責任を果たさず、法の支配を脅かし結果的に様々な公共サービスの提供に支障をきたします。また、持続可能な開発の大きな壁となり、情勢不安、テロや反政府活動を引き起こす要因にもなり得ます。
特に法執行を担当する省庁や組織内における汚職は問題であり、国境を越えた反政府活動や犯罪組織の増加、地域コミュニティの治安悪化や経済崩壊につながります。法執行機関は公務員のロールモデルとして行動し、人権に配慮した法の支配と司法制度を国民に保証する必要があります。つまり法執行機関の能力強化が行政機関全体の強化につながるとも言えます。効率的かつ効果的な行政体制を構築し、テロや反政府活動を防ぐためには国際社会が法執行機関の汚職の原因を解明し、対処していくことが必要となります。
「国連ユニタール広島事務所 法執行と汚職防止研修」は長年の汚職対策研修の経験と専門性に基づき実施しています。, アフリカ大陸の西側に広がる約3500㎞の広大なサヘル地域には約6,670万人の人々が住んでいます。長年サヘル地域では数多くの国境を越えた構造的な開発課題や脅威を抱えてきました。国際NGOトランスペアレンシー・インターナショナルの腐敗認識指数によると、調査を行った175か国のうちサヘル諸国のブルキナファソは85位、チ...
