The workshop brought together representatives from key national institutions, prosecutors, judges, civil society, and the academic community.
First, participants discussed the key challenges to maintain integrity in the public sector, and what cultural or systemic issues might undermine integrity in public service. After challenges were identified, participants presented ideas for solutions. Among others, these were to better Educating people about integrity and improve legislation on political financing of political parties.
The national meeting facilitated discussions in a collaborative format, which was appreciated by all participants. Several challenges in tackling corruption in Malta were discussed, and solutions were put forward by the participants focusing on a better separation of powers, education on anti-corruption and ethics, and revision of key legislation.
