Benchmarking on Anti-Corruption Agencies
Introduction
The matrix contains sample statements corresponding to different levels of capacity (none – basic – moderate – high) for different functions. The assessment exercise involves ticking the box with the description that is the closest match to the ACA’s reality.
The matrix can be used in two main ways:
To conduct a self-assessment (in which case the staff of the ACA are asked to complete the questionnaire anonymously). The results of the self-assessment will constitute an input to the actual capacity assessment facilitated by a team of experts and will give the assessment team preliminary ideas about how the ACA’s staff perceives capacity. The self-assessment also allows for a preliminary identification of capacity gaps (that will have to be cross-checked and validated through interviews).
As a measurement framework for the capacity assessment (by the assessment team).
