It is recognised that when institutions and sectors within the National Integrity System work together and in sync, they help engender an environment that promotes democratic governance and discourages corruption. The National Integrity System assessment provides a benchmark for analysing the robustness and effectiveness of a country’s institutions of accountability in addressing corruption. The National Integrity System in Bangladesh broadly consists of the following institutions: Parliament, Executive, Judiciary, Public Administration (bureaucracy), Local Government, Police (law enforcement agency), Comptroller and Auditor General (supreme audit institution), Election Commission, Anti-Corruption Commission, National Human Rights Commission, Information Commission, Political Parties, Civil Society, Media, and Business.
Each of the institutions in the National Integrity System (NIS) is assessed in this report in terms of its capacity, governance and role. The assessment examines both the legal framework and the actual institutional practice, in an attempt to highlight the gaps between law and practice. The assessment is primarily qualitative and has relied on a combination of primary and secondary data, including relevant national legislation, secondary research and (including media reports), and key informant interviews. The research output has undergone a peer review and libel check and has been validated by the Advisory Committee set up to provide expert guidance to the research team.
