About us
The Technical Unit on Governance and Anti-Corruption Reforms (TUGAR) is a research, monitoring and evaluation unit set up to respond to the critical need for a rigorous approach to policy making grounded on empirical data collection and analysis, and in-depth country specific diagnostics on corruption and related governance issues.
The major role of TUGAR is to serve as a one-stop-shop for data, information, policy and diagnostic reports from analysis, surveys and other research methods for monitoring and evaluating anti-corruption and governance initiatives across all sectors in the country. The work of the unit includes conducting comprehensive diagnostic studies, deep analytical work, monitoring and evaluating anti-corruption and governance initiatives, construction of governance indicators and developing policy briefs on various governance issues for informing policy makers and driving sustainable reforms. TUGAR’s activities also aim at building synergy in the work of anti-corruption Agencies and provides a link and synergy with activities of non-state actors.
TUGAR is the secretariat of the Inter-Agency Task Team of Anti-corruption Agencies (IATT) comprising of 22 core anti-corruption and accountability institutions whose mandates fall within the extensive scope of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC).
