La corrupción impide el desarrollo: se pierden importantes recursos financieros, la confianza pública en el Estado disminuye y se extiende un sentimiento de impotencia e injusticia que puede conducir a conflictos. Los grupos de población pobres y vulnerables se ven particularmente afectados al no poder pagar sobornos para obtener servicios públicos. La COSUDE combate rotundamente la corrupción. 

La lucha contra la corrupción es una cuestión prioritaria para Suiza y un componente fundamental de la promoción de la buena gobernanza. El enfoque se centra en una acción gubernamental transparente y responsable, y también en la sanción de las conductas indebidas.

El objetivo es garantizar que los fondos públicos se utilicen de manera eficaz y eficiente para el desarrollo de un país y que se consolide la confianza entre el Estado y la población. Las instituciones estatales y los procesos políticos no deben seguir siendo socavados por las prácticas corruptas. Unas normas más justas pueden ayudar a reducir tensiones. 

Enfoque y procedimiento

La COSUDE combate las dimensiones cotidianas de la corrupción que marcan la vida diaria de la población (p. ej., los sobornos para recibir tratamiento médico), pero también la corrupción a gran escala, en la que se ven involucrados grandes sumas de dinero y poderosos representantes de la política y de la economía. Persigue para ello una doble estrategia, apoyando la lucha contra la corrupción con programas explícitos, y también como parte integrante del trabajo programático en otros ámbitos. Se abordan todas las facetas: desde el cohecho y el soborno, el fraude y la malversación hasta el nepotismo, la fijación ilegal de precios y el chantaje.

Política de tolerancia cero

Si la COSUDE se ve afectada por la corrupción, se suelen suspender los pagos hasta efectuada la aclaración jurídica. Además, la COSUDE se esfuerza siempre por recuperar los fondos malversados.

¿A quién remitirse en caso de sospecha?

La Compliance Office del DFAE es la encargada de recibir denuncias internas y externas de casos de corrupción y malversación en las actividades financiadas por la COSUDE.

También existe la alternativa de denunciar los casos sospechosos a la Oficina Federal Suiza de Auditoría (SFAO) a través de la plataforma de denuncia de irregularidades.

Proyectos actuales

Objeto 1 – 12 de 45

Public Service Improvement (PSI) in the Kyrgyz Republic

01.08.2024 - 31.07.2028

To improve people's quality of life, municipalities need to deliver efficiently and effectively services such as safe drinking water, waste collection, cultural facilities in a socially inclusive and gender responsive manner. In rural Kyrgyzstan, their capacities still need to be improved in a sustainable way. To achieve this, the project will develop the municipalities' support system which shall then provide adequate counseling and training to those municipalities today and in the long run.


Strengthening local governance and civic space in Uzbekistan

01.05.2024 - 31.12.2028

The programme will strengthen inclusive local governance, gender-based violence prevention and the civic space in Uzbekistan. It promotes an active civil society and civic engagement of youth and vulnerable groups at local level (locally-led development). Switzerland brings high credibility in local governance and human  rights and acts as convenor and bridge builder. The multi-stakeholder set up with UN, non-governmental organizations and local authorities offers a variety of entry points, allowing agile steering in the complex political environment.  


Good Financial Governance (GFG)

01.05.2024 - 30.04.2027

The project contributes to strengthen Tanzania’s public financial system, a central element to cement its economic status. The 3rd phase aims at expanding the mobilization of domestic revenue and improving the government’s expenditure control. It shall strengthen interinstitutional mechanisms for tax data exchange, enhance the audit system, and improve public procurement. At policy level, it seeks to develop an evidence-based and gender responsive fiscal strategy for better public service delivery to benefit the population, especially the poor.


Decentralisation for inclusive development

01.01.2024 - 31.12.2025

Mozambique implements the decentralization reform as agreed in the Maputo Peace Agreement brokered by Switzerland in 2018. Considering political power sharing highly relevant for the country’s stability, the programme supports the effective implementation of the decentralisation’s policies and reforms. The interventions aim to improve the quality of basic services delivered by local governments in Niassa and Nampula provinces, and to enhance accountability, transparency, inclusion and equity in the local decision-making processes through civic participation. 


Strengthening Civil Society in Myanmar – Paung Ku

01.07.2023 - 30.06.2027

In Myanmar, civic space has considerably shrunk since the military coup. In the absence of a legitimate government, networks of independent civil society organisations (CSOs) are essential actors for basic service provision and promotion of democratic values and human rights. Showing commitment to localisation, Switzerland will enable local CSOs to further support vulnerable communities and to protect the foundations of a pluralistic and inclusive society.  


Consolidating Community Recovery, Peace-building and Local Governance (COMPEL)

01.05.2023 - 31.12.2025

Somalia is slowly emerging from one of the most complex and protracted conflicts. Over the past decade, peacebuilding and state-building processes, while navigating conflict, climate crisis and political fragility, maintained an incrementally positive trajectory. In investing in civil society engagement and building of local institutions and capacities all over Somalia, Switzerland is contributing in the establishment and strengthening of sustainable, community-driven, inclusive institutions necessary to deliver services and sustainable peace. 


Accountability for the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda 2023-2026

01.03.2023 - 28.02.2026

The implementation of the 2030 Agenda is guided by a follow-up and review process that supports accountability for the Agenda at national, regional and global levels. With this contribution to a set of partners notably from civil society, Switzerland enables key stakeholders to take part in the review processes for more inclusive monitoring of progress in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda to leave no one behind.


Somalia: Strengthening State Institutions for better service delivery

01.03.2023 - 31.12.2025

The Multi-Partner-Fund (MPF) provided an umbrella to prepare the World Bank’s (WB) re-engagement in Somalia. It has become a powerful tool for donors to pool resources and enabled the WB to engage with Somali authorities to gradually advance reform implementation related to revenue and financial policy, as well as public financial management (PFM). Through this project, Switzerland supports the incremental strengthening of core state institutions in Somalia and contributes ultimately to stability and socio-economic recovery of the country.


SYNAD - Programme d’Appui au Système National de Décentralisation

01.01.2023 - 31.12.2026

Au Burkina Faso, les institutions nationales sont encore insuffisamment capables d’assurer leurs tâches de coordination, de financement et d’appui technique à la décentralisation. La Suisse soutient les institutions chargées de mettre en œuvre cette réforme, afin d’accroître l’accès aux services de base, de réduire la pauvreté et de prévenir l’extrémisme violent. Elle reste engagée en combinant ses instruments de coopération et montre son soutien dans un contexte de crises sécuritaire et humanitaire.

Aussi, la Suisse veut contribuer à la sauvegarde des acquis de développement tout en renforçant les moyens d'existence des personnes vulnérables touchées par des déplacements. En facilitant leur réinsertion socioéconomique, le programme participe à réduire leur vulnérabilité à l’extrême pauvreté et à l’insécurité alimentaire.
