IIPE
consultancy partnerships can deliver many direct and indirect
benefits to governments, communities, and individual citizens,
because the ethics toolkit
is practical, culturally-sensitive, and effective: as a result:
- government
agencies, elected officials, and civil servants can come
to recognise their professional obligation to put the needs
and interests of citizens first;
- misuse
of public funds and resources can be minimised;
- corrupt
officials can be identified, prosecuted, and disciplined
effectively;
- elected
officials and civil servants can be made accountable for
their actions;
- civil
servants accept professional responsibility for their decisions;
- the
rule of law and independence of law-enforcement can be fostered;
- public
officials accept the task of making citizens' lives better;
- legitimate
complaints by citizens are taken seriously;
- civil
servants develop an understanding of the requirements to
be self-disciplined, efficient, and competent;
- government
agencies can develop systemic improvements to reduce mistakes,
delay, cost, and 'red tape';
- government
agencies and the civil service can be managed better, and
become more reliable.
