The corruption-free project aims to suppress graft in civil services by laying out guidelines for every member agency to operate transparently, honestly and accountably while promoting the values of honesty and anti-corruption. The project also aims to make the public confident in the government’s corruption prevention and suppression systems.

The presentation of certificates and pins was held to honor the network members and declare their intention to join efforts in fighting corruption in their agencies.

The network members consist of 17,005 officials from 252 state agencies of all levels, such as ministries, departments, state enterprises, academic agencies and local administrative organizations.
