By Georg Neumann

Transparency International (TI) launched a new website on 5 February 2007 to monitor anti-corruption initiatives in Central America and serve as a reference for anti-corruption practitioners and stakeholders by providing quality information for decision-making.

The Central American Anti-Corruption Resource Network, RECREA for short (“Red Centroamericana de Recursos Anticorrupción”) provides an in-depth view of anti-corruption efforts in Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Panama; including information on the performance of the main actors in each country based on the TI’s National Integrity Systems (NIS). The NIS approach provides a framework with which to analyse both the extent and causes of corruption in a given national context, as well as the adequacy and effectiveness of national anti-corruption efforts.

RECREA will be used, for example, to monitor the follow up to the “Guatemala Declaration for a Corruption Free Region” signed by all Central American Presidents and the Dominican Republic during the 12th International Anti-Corruption Conference last November.
