1 ADB/OECD Anti-Corruption Initiative for Asia and the Pacific and 12th Regional Seminar Dili, Timor-Leste, July Whistleblower Protection and Strengthening Anti-Corruption Agencies Agenda Strengthening whistleblower protection measures and anti-corruption agencies (ACAs) are two increasingly important topics in global efforts to combat corruption. With this in mind, the members of the ABD/OECD Anti-Corruption Initiative for Asia and the Pacific decided in early 2013 to devote its 12th Regional Seminar to these two themes. The first part of the Regional Seminar will address whistleblowing and whistleblower protection. The issue has received recent attention in international bodies, such as the G20 and the G8. Countries are exhorted to protect whistleblowers by international anti-corruption legal instruments such as UNCAC and the OECD Recommendation of the Council for Further Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions. Whistleblowing cases under recent legislation such as the Dodd-Frank Act have received substantial media coverage. In the Asia- Pacific region, however, this important topic has received less attention, other than at the November 2010 Seoul G20 Summit where G20 Leaders identified the issue as one of high priority. This Regional Seminar will provide an overview of the main features of an effective mechanism to promote whistleblowing and to protect whistleblowers. The second part of the Regional Seminar will focus on strengthening ACAs. Like whistleblowing, the topic has also been the subject of international attention, notably by the APEC Anti-Corruption and Transparency Working Group for ACAs have proliferated in Asia-Pacific and beyond as international efforts to fight corruption have gathered pace in recent years. This Seminar will look at how ACAs can be strengthened so that they can better discharge their responsibilities. The Regional Seminar will also share the findings of a recent APEC workshop in Indonesia on this topic with non-apec members of the Initiative.
