USAID training of SNACA of Yemen
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has lately finished in the city of Taiz, Yemen an intensive 3-day training course for members of the Supreme National Anti-Corruption Authority (SNACA) in Yemen. Head of the SNACA Ahmed al-Anisi described it as exceeded what they have expected in the authority, expressing his hope for organising other training courses in the near future. The Associate Executive Manager of the Lebanese Transparency Body, the member of Arab MPs of Anti-Corruption Committee Dr Khalil Jbara has helped organise the course.
The training course has aimed at increasing understanding of the SNACA members of corruption and ways of combating it, as fighting corruption is considered of the most important priorities for the achievement of development in Yemen.
According to a press release of the Press Attaché at the American embassy in Sana'a, members of the SNACA were during the course able to master definitions and sorts of corruption. The statement also mentioned that the training course focused also on training the participants on ways of fighting corruption through enhancement of transparency and good governance criteria stipulated in the National Strategy on Fighting Corruption.
The press release added that as a result of the training course the Yemeni Authority on fighting corruption has drawn up a comprehensive programme for reform expected to lay foundations for the national alliance of decency.
The SNACA, established in July this year, is the highest independent authority concerned with fighting corruption and part of reforms agenda Yemen has adopted and it is an implementation of the electoral platform of President Ali Abdullah Saleh. The reforms agenda has included economic, judicial and administrative aspects as well as for fighting corruption and enhancement of transparency in excavation industries.
The USAID has been working in Yemen since 1985 and presently is working in the Yemeni governorates of Shabwa, Marib, Amran, Al-Jawf and Saada.
