The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) Held a Validation Meeting on the Draft Corruption Risk Assessment (CRA) Report for the Cooperative Development Agency (CDA) on July 30, 2026

The Corruption Risk Assessment is a preventive exercise that examines an institution's policies, procedures, and day-to-day operations to identify areas that may be vulnerable to corruption. The goal is to recommend practical measures that strengthen internal controls, improve accountability, and reduce opportunities for corruption before they occur. The assessment at the CDA began with a detailed review of the institution's operational processes, policies, and procedures.The findings were compiled into a draft report containing recommendations to address identified weaknesses and strengthen the institution's systems. The validation meeting was attended by senior management, and  department heads of the CDA, and technical staff from LACC to review the draft report, verify the accuracy of its findings, and agree on recommendations before the report is finalized. The exercise also provided the CDA with an opportunity to clarify issues raised during the assessment and ensure the final report reflects its operational realities. This Corruption Risk Assessment forms part of the Commission's prevention mandate under Part IV, Section 5(h) of the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission Act of 2022, which empowers the LACC to examine the practices and procedures of public institutions and recommend measures that reduce opportunities for corruption.
