Item Corruption Prevention Strategy of the Federal Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission: it’s Efficacy in Curbing Corruption in Public Procurement(Addis Ababa University, 2016-06) Kifetew, Berhanu; Abagissa, Jemal (PhD)The objective of the study is to evaluate the Efficacy of the Corruption Prevention Strategy of the Federal Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission of Ethiopia in curbing corruption in public procurement so as to protect public resource from being looted. To this end, the study evaluates and presents the efficacy of procurement business process evaluation, which is one major activity in the corruption prevention strategy of the FEACC, focusing at public procurement, in curbing corruption in public procurement through the analysis of primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected from respondents and key informants drawn from different public and private institutions; and secondary data from pertinent government offices. The study employs explanations, deductions, percentage, triangulation of data in its analysis and interpretation of the data in its quest for answers for the research questions. The finding of the study shows that the corruption prevention strategy of the FEACC has efficacy in curbing corruption in public procurement despite the fact that the strategy has not yet garnered sufficient state sanction, the most significant instrument, behind its implementation for its furthermost contribution in tackling corruption in the public procurement domain. Also the strategy needs to be owned and mainstreamed in each and every public institution so as to fend of corruption using their in-house capacity in a sustained manner, rules that give lee way to bypass the procurement legal regime need to be reconsidered as they are abused more often than note. Key words: FEACC, corruption, corruption prevention strategy, efficacy, curbing corruption, public procurement, business process evaluation
