INTEGRITY AND TRANSPARENCY ASSESSMENT 2 Corruption, favouritism and nepotism, running deep within Thailand’s public administration and public service systems,is compromising the viability of legal-rational authority and causing failure in the maintenance of integrity and transparency, resulting in a shortfall of good governance on a national scale. To help combat the problem, the country has resolved to reform and recalibrate public system procedures. Following international practice, the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has formulated the Integrity and Transparency Assessment (ITA) in the hope of creating a safeguard against corruption in government agencies as a whole, rather than having to deal with corruption on an individual/smaller scale. This resembles, in a sense, a mandatory annual health check-up for government agencies, demonstrating the NACC’s objective of unravelling the operational issues within each organisation, to more easily enable governance, in accordance with Thailand Digital Government Vision 2021, which will enhance the newly evaluated agencies’ capacity for operating and servicing.
