The seminar concluded with a number of recommendations aimed at establishing integrity and good governance, most notably: the need to support national and institutional initiatives in the field of combating corruption, and to implement specialized workshops and training programs in this field. The recommendations also emphasized the need for the people and administrative units to develop future strategic plans to promote integrity and distribute tasks and responsibilities among employees in accordance with their competencies to ensure efficient performance. In addition, they called for the adoption of electronic archiving and the preservation of information confidentiality, the development of employees’ capabilities and training to raise their efficiency in detecting corruption and reducing its risks, and the preparation of guidelines clarifying the functional procedures related to combating corruption.
