The Integrity Pact favors sensitization and prevention more and this marks an important standards meant to assess the business process and deliver the change in the approach of fighting corruption. The customs duties and certificate of integrity in an independent and transparent process to the tax authorities, who already had separate codes of conduct and ethics, stakeholders have voluntarily accepted to be stakeholders in the Integrity Pact.
And as such, their codes of conduct and ethics have been reviewed and will be harmonized into one for the purpose of facilitating functionality of the pact.
The goals of this project are:

- To develop and design a certification system according to international standards meant to assess the business process and deliver the certificate of integrity in an independent and transparent process to the stakeholders
