Speaking at a ceremony to hand over two vehicles and computer equipment to the Court of Audit of Guinea-Bissau, Mr. Levy said that the fight against corruption is an important element of the government of Guinea-Bissau.
He said this will lead UNDP and other UN agencies to commit to assisting the team of auditors and other national institutions in outlining and implementing a strategy to tackle the scourge of corruption.
“The level of corruption in Africa and its negative effects on the continent’s own development are unmistakable,” the UN diplomat said.
