Terms of Reference
Position : Consultant to Develop Blueprint of Anti-Corruption Prevention in the Private Sector
Working days : 30 days

BACKGROUND
The role of the private sector in the fight against
corruption is regarded as crucial. Private sector corruption erodes confidence in public and
government institutions and deprives citizens of the capital needed for
economic growth. On the other hand, the private sector requires legal certainty
to determine the rules of the game and make investment decisions. This has been
absent to date, causing a fertile ground for both coercion by government and
voluntary corruption by businesses.

sector and successfully supported the development of corporate governance
guidelines in one of Indonesia’s state agencies. To widen the effort of ensuring private sector’s active contribution and committment to
combat corruption, SIAP 1 will develop ‘Anticorruption Prevention in the
Private Sector – A Blueprint’ that will
be used by state agency for developing strategic plan and annual work plan, and
identifying strategic partners and selecting priority sectors in the private
sector, mapping stakeholder involvement, identifying the laws and regulations
which are associated with private sector regulation. To support the above
matters, SIAP 1 now seeks an expert Team Leader to develop a framework
of anti-corruption prevention in the private sector.
