Fight against corruption: Director General of BIANCO within the Malagasy delegation in Vienna

The Director General of the Independent Anti-Corruption Bureau (BIANCO), Mr.  Gaby Nestor RAZAKAMANANTSOA, will take part, alongside the Malagasy delegation, in the first part of the resumed seventeenth session of the Implementation Review Group of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), scheduled to take place from August 31 to September 4, 2026, in Vienna, Austria.

Organized under the auspices of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), this international meeting brings together representatives of States Parties to the UNCAC to assess progress in its implementation, share good practices, and identify challenges and technical assistance needs to ensure the effective application of the Convention.

The work will focus in particular on the second phase of the Implementation Review Mechanism of the UNCAC, with particular emphasis on the implementation of provisions relating to the criminalization, detection and repression of corruption set out in Chapter III of the Convention.

The participation of the Director General of BIANCO, as a member of the Malagasy delegation, demonstrates Madagascar’s commitment to strengthening the fight against corruption and respecting its international commitments in this area.
