The ACC must develop a comprehensive Corruption Prevention Strategy with the assistance of relevant experts and drawing upon objective evaluation of the success and shortcomings of its current preventive activities. The strategy should include short, medium and long-term action plan focusing on such programmes as- *Inclusion of ethical and anti-corruption content in the school curriculum at all levels from primary to higher secondary, ensuring that such contents and applicable methods are modern, engaging, and student-friendly; * Introducing governance and anti-corruption courses, trainings, internships, and fellowships at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels; * Extensive promotion of the ACC’s hotline number (106) through school textbooks, mass media, and social media platforms; * Conducting targeted anti-corruption campaigns and awareness programs through mass media and social media (e.g., Facebook, X, Instagram); * Enhancing implementation of laws such as the Right to Information Act 2009, and the Public Interest Information Disclosure (Protection) Act 2011, through widespread awareness campaigns, motivation and training programs; * Organizing promotional programs anchored on anti-corruption pledges, honesty, and adherence to human virtues and practices consistent with anti-corruption related religious edicts and values; * Engaging the youth in anti-corruption awareness and motivational activities inspired and designed by youth themselves at local and national levels; * Expanding partnership and collaboration activities with anti-corruption NGOs; * In line with Article 13 of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC), mobilizing stakeholders, including the government, to create legal and institutional frameworks that facilitate citizen and media participation in anti-corruption activities; * Playing a leading role in nationally observing the International Anti-Corruption Day and promoting anti-corruption messaging during other important national, social, cultural, religious, and political occasions; and * Collaborating with the Information Commission and related civil society organizations to ensure the effective implementation of the Right to Information Act at the grassroots level. This should include addressing specific challenges faced by marginalized communities and groups and guaranteeing equal access to information for all citizens. * Above all, the strategy must underscore the message that corruption is not only a punishable crime but also a socially, culturally, and religiously unacceptable, destructive, and discriminatory scourge. All possible innovative and appealing methods and processes should be employed to implement a strategic and sustainable corruption prevention programme.
