We thank the financial and technical support given by the German Development Cooperation, implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, in particular the support of the “Anti-corruption and Integrity Programme” and the comments made by the Project team in Peru of the “Citizen-oriented state reform Programme (Good Governance)” led by Mayra Ugarte and supported by Florian Schatz. The OECD also thanks the former head of the GIZ good governance programme in Peru, Hartmut Paulsen, for his guidance and support.
The OECD expresses its gratitude to the Peruvian Government, in particular, the Secretariat of Public Integrity of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (SIP), led by Eloy Munive Pariona, Secretary of Public Integrity, and his team. The former Secretary of Public Integrity, Susana Silva Hasembank, as well as Cristina Arvildo, Fernando Hurtado and Vladimir Léon from the SIP significantly supported and co-ordinated the project activities, including the fact-finding mission carried out in November 2019, and provided guidance and feedback throughout the project. The OECD would also like to thank the institutions and organisations who took part in the process and provided valuable information for the elaboration of the report, in particular the regional governments and regional control offices as well as the members of the Regional Anti-Corruption Commissions of Cajamarca, Lambayeque, and San Martin; the National Civil Service Authority (Autoridad Nacional del Servicio Civil, SERVIR); the Secretariat for Decentralisation (Secretaría de Descentralización); the Public Administration Secretariat (Secretaría de Gestión Pública, or SGP); the Office of the Comptroller General (Contraloría General de la República, or CGR) and the Ombudsman Office (Defensoría del Pueblo). The preliminary version of the report was presented and discussed during a virtual event with the SIP and representatives of the integrity function from regional governments on 17 September 2020 as well as during a virtual meeting of the international co-operation community in Peru on 2 October 2020. The report also benefitted from the invaluable insights and comments of Limberg Chero, Juan Carlos Cortés Carcelén, Fiorella Mayaute, Mirtha Muñiz, Carlos Vargas, and Eduardo Vega.
The review was approved by the OECD Working Party of Senior Public Integrity Officials (SPIO) on 3 December 2020 and declassified by the Public Governance Committee on 28 December 2020.
