The Coalition for
Accountability and Integrity AMAN and the Palestinian
Initiative for Global Dialogue & Democracy – MIFTAH issued a
draft Code of Conduct for employees at the public sector.
The draft resulted from joint efforts exerted by AMAN and
MIFTAH towards strengthening integrity, transparency, and
accountability in the work of the public sector.
Representatives of the
General Personnel Council, Prime Minister’s Office,
Financial and Administrative Control Bureau, and Union of
public Employees participated in drafting the Code.
The Code serves as a
guiding document for employees at the government sector on
how to reach higher levels of integrity in their work. It
urges employees to abide by the rules and regulations of the
institutions they serve and calls on them to respect the
rule of law and perform their duties in the most transparent
and integrate manner.
