Objectives

The Working Party of Senior Public Integrity Officials (SPIO):

• promotes the design and implementation of integrity and anti-corruption policies that support good public governance. 
• strengthens core values, the credibility and capacity of the institutions involved in policy making and the underlying conditions shaping the policy making process.

The SPIO pays specific attention to emerging issues related to risk areas at the interface between the public and private sectors, including conflict of interest, lobbying, and the role of money and influence in decision making, but also integrity and accountability mechanisms, including internal and external control.
