In December 2020, the Brazilian government launched an anti-corruption plan for 2020–2025,[1] with the objective of structuring and executing actions to improve the mechanisms for prevention, detection, and accountability for acts of corruption.
The Interministerial Committee to Combat Corruption aims were to (i) verify the level of implementation of its anti-corruption mechanisms, (ii) identify gaps for improvement, and (iii) analyze the level of compliance with international recommendations on anti-corruption matters.[2] The committee defined 153 actions to be performed by the government through 2025, classified into 15 different themes, including money laundering, public ethics, management and governance, integrity, and transparency and social control.
