EPEKA Slovenia, as a partner within the DigitalVsCorrupt project, informs the public about the results of the project. The full press release is available at this link.<\/a><\/p>\n

In the project, coordinated by EPEKA Montenegro, various organisations joined forces and \u2013 based on the trainings carried out during the project \u2013 developed user-oriented materials for youth workers, civil servants, civil society organisations and professionals related to identifying corruption, tackling this socially harmful phenomenon and taking appropriate action in the face of corruption.<\/p>\n

Corruption is a complex social, political and economic phenomenon that affects all countries. Corruption undermines democratic institutions, slows down economic development and contributes to government instability. Corruption attacks the foundations of democratic institutions by distorting electoral processes, distorting the rule of law and creating a bureaucratic quagmire created solely for the purpose of obtaining bribes.<\/p>\n

The result of the project is user-oriented materials for youth workers, civil servants, civil society organizations and professionals related to recognizing corruption, addressing this socially harmful phenomenon and taking appropriate action in dealing with corruption.<\/p>\n

All materials are also available on the https:\/\/www.digitalvscorrupt.eu<\/u> website and on the websites of Epeka Slovenia.<\/a><\/p>\n

The role of whistleblowers, for whom a dedicated set of all three materials has been prepared, is also important, as they play a particularly important role in detecting corruption. Whistleblowers play a key role in exposing corruption, fraud, abuse of power, conflicts of interest, and violations of the public interest. By speaking out, they help protect communities, strengthen transparency and support democratic accountability. At the same time, whistleblowing can expose individuals to stigma, retaliation, isolation and legal uncertainty.<\/p>\n
