Future of Iraq, Anti-Corruption Working Group Meeting

The first session of the Future of Iraq project working group on Anti-Corruption will convene on February 14-15, 2003 in Washington, DC.

At this session, about 15 "Free Iraqis" will discuss ways to end the corruption that has characterized Saddam Hussein’s regime and its abuse of Iraq’s wealth and resources. This working group will discuss the importance of open and transparent government procedures in public contracting, public appointments, banking, and other institutions that must earn and keep the public trust. The working group will discuss both public and private sectors to promote anti-corruption efforts.

For further information regarding the Future of Iraq project, please contact Gregg Sullivan, Deputy Director for Press Affairs, Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, at 202-647-5150.
