  • The legal framework for public integrity in Costa Rica Official integrity actors and their responsibilities at the national level in Costa Rica
  • Formalising inter-institutional co-ordination on public integrity policies
  • Leveraging on the co-ordination achieved during the construction of the ENIPC, Costa Rica could consider a permanent co-ordination commission that includes all relevant public integrity actors and a whole of society approach
  • Two technical sub-commissions, one on prevention and one on enforcement, could promote discussions on more technical levels and ensure continuity of policies Costa Rica could assign the responsibility for central institutional co-ordination of integrity policies to the Ministry of Justice and the Attorney for Public Ethics, or consider establishing a new, independent authority
  • Mainstreaming integrity policies into the whole public administration
  • Costa Rica faces a cross-cutting challenge of implementing integrity policies in the institutionally (ADI) and territorially (ADT) decentralised public administrations Costa Rica could reach the Decentralised Public Administrations through dedicated integrity units, building on the Institutional Commissions on Ethics and Values (CIEV) and strengthening the National Commission of Values (CNEV)
  • Costa Rica could consider establishing co-ordination mechanisms at territorial level to reach out to municipalities and ensure integrity policies are informed by by the specific contexts and effectively implemented Improve co-ordination between the CGR, the CNEV, internal auditors and the CIEV to fine-tune the methodology for "ethics audits" and to clarify the role of each actor
