For the fifth consecutive year, AMAN
announces the start of call for applications to its annual Integrity
Award competition beginning July 1st and ending on July 31,
2010 for the Public Sector Award, and August 31, 2010 for the Best
Research, and Media Awards. Included, are shareholding companies who
will compete for the Good Governance Certificate with deadline for
application ending on September 20, 2010.
In every society there are individuals who
refuse to submit to corrupt people and behavior regardless of the price
paid; the Palestinian society is no different. For that, AMAN, took the
initiative to symbolically reward these courageous individuals and to
grant them recognition in their society as well as introduce them
internationally as people who take combating corruption seriously. In
that regard, the award will presented to the winners during AMAN’s
Transparency Festival held annually in celebration for the International
Day against Corruption, which falls on December 9 of each year.
According to Ms. Ghada Zughayar, the
Integrity Award is only one method by which AMAN fights corruption hence
contributing to the building of a National Integrity System (NIS) which
encompasses all the Palestinian society, people and institutions working
together to prevent and combat corruption. Our activities and reports
are posted on our website sited below, if you wish to learn more about
us.
One award is granted per sector each year
which constitutes a small monitory value of $1000.00 in addition to the
figurative award illustrating AMAN’s emblem of transparency, with the
exception of the certificate awarded to the shareholding company where
money is not part of the award.
Applications for the awards will be reviewed,
evaluated and shortlisted based on a well developed criteria put forth
by special technical teams of experts in the various fields. Each team,
drafts a report illustrating fulfillment of the application to the
criteria as well as an evaluation of the level of importance of the
corruption case in question vis-a-vi other applications before
presenting it to the Jury or selection committee. The selection
committee re-studies the applications and teams recommendations to
ensure accuracy and objectivity of the teams before choosing one winner
for each sector.
