Having been engaged in Peru for a number of years on a series of anti-corruption projects, in particular in relation to the recovery of stolen assets, the Basel Institute is now expanding its programme of work in the country to more comprehensively support Peru in its efforts to devise and implement effective public governance measures for countering and preventing corruption.

Funded by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), this expanded programme of work in Peru, for which the Basel Institute is now opening its first pilot subsidiary field office, will - amongst others - provide technical support to local authorities in public finance management and budget transparency, accountability, strengthening Peru’s judicial system and work with local civil society and the private sector to enhance public accountability and address industry- and country-specific bribery risks and related challenges.
