The previous lesson identifies a range of core issues that need to be assessed for all anti-corruption agencies. These core issues focus on the basic capacities that all institutions require in order to operate efficiently and effectively. This chapter provides a comprehensive approach for collecting information on the core issues by:
- Undertaking preliminary research (desk review);
- Administering a preliminary stakeholder survey on institutional cooperation;
- Interviewing ACA head(s) and senior executives;
- Interviewing ACA staff;
- Interviewing institutional stakeholders.
The data collected through these interviews needs to be triangulated for validation purposes prior to inclusion in the capacity assessment report. The sample questions are only indicative and will need to be customized on a country-by-country basis.
