| Overview : The TAP Project was designed as a follow up to the support provided to Solomon Islands over the previous decade, through the joint UNDP-UNODC Pacific Regional Anti-Corruption Project (UN-PRAC), a regional anti-corruption project funded by the Australian Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). UN-PRAC supported the development of the Solomon Islands National Anti-Corruption Strategy (NACS) in 2015. The NACS was eventually endorsed by the Parliament and the Cabinet in 2017 which “recognizes that corruption undermines development and sustains poverty, inhibits economic growth, drives political instability, enables the unsustainable use of natural resources, impacts the delivery of services and undermines good governance and the rule of law”. Subsequently, in order to progress with the NACS’ implementation, UN-PRAC provided technical advice and support to develop the Anti-Corruption Act, which was passed by Parliament in 2018. That Act clarified the key criminal provisions dealing with corruption and established the legal framework for a new Solomon Islands Independent Commission Against Corruption. UNDP subsequently developed the Project for Strengthening the Capacities to Combat Corruption (SCCC), which was used to support 12 months of project initiation activities in 2018. The TAP Project took over that work from 2019 and has a four-year implementation timeframe. The TAP Project has an overarching outcome which aims to support the Solomon Islands Government to address corruption, through the establishment of strengthening of key government institutions and independent bodies, and complementary partnerships with civil society, the media and the private sector. The Project has three core outputs, which are designed around existing national laws, strategies and priorities, in particular, the NACS and the 2018 Anti-Corruption Act. UNDP Solomon Islands is leading the implementation of the TAP Project but continues to access high-level technical experts working on Regional Anti-Corruption Projects and the UNDP Global Anti-Corruption Initiative (GAIN) for the benefit of Solomon Islands. To assist the project to deliver its activities in 2023, UNDP is seeking to recruit a Solomon Islands national, as a long-term consultant for the project to assist the project deliver its activities across the 3 outputs areas. |
