Transparency International annually develops the Corruption Perceptions Index based on the views of experts and businesses on corruption in the country's civil service. The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) is based on assessments of 13 index scores, and the Bertelsmann Foundation's Transformation Index is one of the nine sources used to assess the CPI of Mongolia.
The Bertelsmann Transformation Index is an assessment of how successfully countries around the world are transitioning to democratic and free economic systems. The assessment is divided into seven regions, including Asia and Oceania, Latin America and the Caribbean. Mongolia is in the Post-Socialist Eurasia region and is one of the 28 countries in the world that has received “good” governance marks. There are 5 countries that received “excellent” ratings.
During the meeting, Mr. Dashdavaa introduced the Anti-Corruption policies and activities of the IAAC and the Government of Mongolia. The Bertelsmann Foundation highly appreciates the work of the Mongolian Anti-Corruption Agency and the Government's efforts in Anti-Corruption sector and stressed the importance of sustainable efforts.
The parties agreed to further exchange information and cooperate in the fight against corruption.
