It must be underlined that anti-corruption work is not about grand strategies, but about management support for discrete and consistent measures. Key is close monitoring and follow-through, to ensure that, the projects systematically incorporate what is being learnt. The PCU & PIUs needs to take each specific project situation into account to prioritize and sequence actions. They also need to establish procedures that avoid possible misuse and maximize value for money. Careful supervision is required to ensure that agreed procedures are complied with in letter and in spirit, as also to track the achievement, output and outcomes. PCU & PIUs would also introduce anti-corruption and demand-side measures to prevent problems in existing projects. Better controls and detection naturally bring more irregularities to the surface. Additionally, as communities come to trust the project, they will complain and demand more. These pressures must be anticipated and accepted as part of the price that must be paid for creating a more efficient system.
