Egypt presented, during the speech delivered at the meeting of the Working Group on Preventive Measures (WGPM), a 

comprehensive picture on its efforts to combat corruption and strengthen integrity and transparency.

The representative of Egypt said: “Mr. President, Your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, chairpersons, and representatives

of the delegations of States parties to the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), here or virtually... I have the

honor to pay tribute and convey my greetings to you. Let me show you a part of the Egyptian efforts in the field of preventive 

measures as follows: - Several articles bind the State to combat corruption, promote

integrity and transparency, and follow up the implementation of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy (NACS) are encompassed in

the Constitution of the Arab Republic of Egypt 2014. - The National Coordinating Committee against Corruption

(NCCC) was established; it comprises all law enforcement agencies, all competent ministries, and representatives of the civil

society and the private sector. This committee is concerned with implementing measures to reduce corruption in the State;

 The NACS was developed; the implementation of the first and second phases of the Strategy has been overseen; the positive

results of this Strategy have been evaluated. The success rate of achieving the targets of the current phase reaches 85% during

2019 and 2020. The Civil Service Law (CSL) was enacted to regulate the provisions applicable to the public office; this Law 

stipulates that the State shall guarantee and protect employees’ rights and prohibit

discrimination among them. Several codes of conduct include the code of employment conduct

for the State’s administrative apparatus employees were formulated and published. A guide for implementing the Private

Sector Integrity Pact (PSIP) and a code of ethics for university students was published. A compulsory course was also adopted in

all Egyptian universities, entitled “Human Rights and the Fight against Corruption”. Furthermore, a code of professional conduct

was developed for Egyptian associations and NGOs. The Law on the Regulation of Contracts concluded by public authorities

was issued in order to address many challenges. The general budget and government procurement plan are regularly

published by The Egyptian Ministry of Finance on its website. A comprehensive system for linking and integrating national

databases to direct Egypt towards the implementation of the IT infrastructure and digital transformation projects was developed,

in addition to developing and publishing a comprehensive guide on all governmental services provided to citizens and keeping it

available on the Egypt’s Government Services Portal. Media campaigns have been launched to raise citizens’ awareness

of the dangers of corruption, to revive the conscience of society, and to emphasize that change starts within yourself; in

addition, such campaigns aim at raising the citizen’s awareness of certain crimes and their penalties.

 Meetings on the UNCAC review mechanism have been participated in by the Egyptian civil society organizations.

 Surveys on the work environment were done for the employees in 2019, and the necessary actions were taken to improve the

index value. 45 e-services on the Egypt Digital Portal (EDP) and 42 ones on the Local Government Services Portal (LGSP) 

are provided; furthermore, surveys for the citizens are regularly done to measure

their satisfaction with these services. A simulation model for the Conference of States Parties (CSP)

was run by young students from the faculties of Cairo University in coordination and collaboration with the Administrative Control

Authority (ACA), Cairo University, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the United Nations Office

on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). That model is considered a unique experience aimed at involving youth in measures 

taken internationally to prevent and combat corruption.
