The ACP’s Consultative Council with the involvement of a broad range of professional associations, civil society groups, and government bodies has engaged itself in reviewing a number of areas and has also been instrumental in drafting a National Anti Corruption Plan that has had inputs from the participatory process.
This draft plan will be presented to a large Stakeholder Forum at the National Anti-Corruption Action Plan Conference in June 2007 marking the culmination of aforesaid participatory process.
The Action Plan focuses on measures to reduce corruption within various sectors such as government, civil society, media, private sector, donors and others, and includes setting up of measurement criteria to monitor and evaluate progress.
Following the National Conference, the National Action Plan will be finalized, translated and presented to all stakeholders including the Government in July. At the same time a National Anti-corruption Public Exposition will be held to create broad public awareness under the dual theme 'Stop Corruption' and 'Let's Break the Chain of Corruption'.
As part of education and awareness activities the ACP has commissioned a book by noted Sri Lankan children's book author and Illustrator Sybil Wettasinghe on the theme of anti-corruption for children between the ages of 11 and 15, as a long-term strategy aimed at inculcating good values among the next generation of Sri Lankans. A series of competitions in drama, essay, paintings and slogan for the school children have been also held and the winners will be announced and awarded at the Public Exposition scheduled for July.
