Technical Co-operation Projects


The Council of Europe is supporting countries in the implementation of European and international anti-corruption standards through technical co-operation projects. These also help countries follow up to recommendations resulting from GRECO recommendations. They are funded from the budget of the Council of Europe but to a large extent also by contributions by countries and organisations such as the European Commission, United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Sweden or the Netherlands.
