Abstract

National Anti-Corruption Program of the Republic of Lithuania for 2015–2025 is a nationwide multi-sectoral policy document aimed at ensuring a long-term, effective and targeted system of corruption prevention and control in the Republic of Lithuania in 2015–2025. The Program covers key provisions of national anti-corruption policies in the public and private sectors. The program focuses on the reduction and elimination of the conditions and risks of corruption, as well as the management of corruption risks and the implementation of liability for corruption offenses. Corruption is one of the national threats to the state and one of the most dangerous social phenomena, threatening human rights, democracy and the rule of law, distorting social justice, fair competition, business conditions, undermining economic growth, endangering public administration, stability of state or municipal institutions and public morale. Corruption is associated with excessive bureaucracy and regulation, a balance of discretion and accountability. Corruption is a latent phenomenon, and the impact of corrupt offenses on various economic and social spheres usually only becomes apparent later in the face of the consequences of corruption. The program has been prepared taking into account the environmental analysis, the results of sociological research, proposals submitted by public, state and municipal institutions.
