About us

The Arab Anti-Corruption and Integrity Network (ACINET) is the first regional mechanism in the Arab region that brings together governmental and non-governmental entities to consult and cooperate in the fight against corruption. Established on 30 July 2008, ACINET currently includes 55 ministries and official agencies from 20 Arab countries, two observer members, and a "Non-Governmental Group" comprising 25 independent organizations from civil society, the private sector, media, and academia.

ACINET convenes periodically to review progress, set priorities for its Programs of Work, and issue resolutions, conclusions, and other documents that provide guidance on anti-corruption and integrity, supporting related efforts across the Arab region.

The "Regional Support Unit" serves as the secretariat for ACINET. It is funded and hosted by the UNDP's Regional Portfolio on Anti-Corruption and Integrity in the Arab Countries (ACIAC).

The network also collaborates with various partners, including the League of Arab States (LAS), the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
