On 15 January 2016 the Peruvian National Public Prosecutor and the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs of Switzerland (SECO) signed an agreement to prevent and investigate acts of corruption in public finance at the subnational level and recover misappropriated public assets.

This agreement is part of the ¨Subnational Public Finance Management Strengthening Program¨ signed between the governments of Peru and Switzerland in October 2015, which is being implemented by the Basel Institute on Governance through its Lima office.

This Program will support the efforts of the National Public Prosecutor and its local counterparts in taking preventative and investigative actions in cases of corruption through permanent capacity-building and improved coordination, so as to lay the basis for a deterrent effect on those committing illicit acts, which in turn will have a positive impact on the development of PFM best practices.
