AMAN

.
 

AMAN-Coalition for Integrity and Accountability was established in the year 2000 upon the initiative by a number of Palestinian civil society organizations working in the fields of democracy, human rights, and good governance. The program was designed to promote the values of integrity, principles of transparency and systems of accountability in the various Palestinian sectors with the aim of participating in the building of a national integrity system.

Findings of several studies reports and opinion polls conducted in Palestine indicate that corruption is found at the higher level among public sector officials, where misuse of positions for personal interests is a pervasive and common phenomenon; coupled with favouritism and nepotism in the various sectors. Consequently AMAN was founded.  Its purpose is to advocate for and provide support for uniting all Palestinian efforts to combat corruption and participate in building a national integrity system.

AMAN established partnerships with the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the Palestinian National Authority. Furthermore, AMAN strives to strengthen its relationship with the private and civil society sectors. AMAN is a member in the National Committee for Good Governance, Network of Civil Society Organizations for the Rule of Law and the Civil Society Coordination Committee.

AMAN is also regionally involved in the establishment of networks in the Arab world such as Civil Society Organizations for Combating Corruption, Friends of the United Nations Convention against Corruption and Arab Parliamentarians against Corruption. 

The center provides local and regional studies, surveys, research and projects dealing with corruption, in addition to other international resources. The center serves AMAN’s coalition members and staff, researchers, decision makers, university students, the local community and the Palestinian public as a whole.

AMAN grants annual awards to model employees in several sectors who were courageous enough to come forward with documented cases of corruption in their own institutions
