The plan is characterized into four strategic objectives including to enhance the capacity of KLIF to implement a collective approach in the fight against corruption; promote strengthening of policy, legal and institutional framework in the fight against corruption; promote Ethics and integrity in public and private sector, and; to promote ethics and integrity in the society.
