United Nations Development Programme Tender

The Un Pacific Regional Anti-corruption (un-prac) Project Is A Joint Un Office On Drugs And Crime (unodc) And Un Development Programme (undp) Initiative Aimed To Support Pacific Island Countries (pics) To Strengthen Their National Integrity Systems. The Project Is Firmly Anchored In The United Nations Convention Against Corruption (uncac) And The 2030 Agenda For Sustainable Development, Notably Sustainable Development Goal (sdg) 16 Which Calls For Stronger Action On Anti-corruption, Transparency And Accountability. The Right To Information (rti) Is A Powerful Anti-corruption Tool That Gives All Persons The Right To Access Information Held By Public Bodies. Rti Reflects The Principle That All Information Held By Governments And Other Public Institutions Is Public Information And Should Therefore Only Be Withheld From The Public For Legitimate Reasons That Are Within The Public Interest.    Vanuatu Passed Its Right To Information Act In 2016 Which Requires The Rti Unit To Monitor And Evaluate Implementation Of Rti Across Government. The Rti Policy Mandates The Rti Unit To Develop And Implement An Information Request Tracking System, In Order To Undertake This Monitoring And Evaluation. The Rti Unit Of Vanuatu Requested Support To Develop And Implement Both An Rti Request Web Portal And A Tracking System. To Respond To This Request, United Nations Pacific Regional Anti-corruption Project (un-prac) Is Seeking To Hire A Service Provider To Support The Rti Unit To Digitalize The Rti Process Accordingly.
