Capacity of Focal Points enhanced to gather information to complete the self-assessments, as part of the UNCAC review process with a gender consideration and wide stakeholder involvement (including from the private sector) This activity is sufficiently broad in scope to allow for the unique circumstances of each Pacific State under review to be taken into consideration. In order to enhance the capacity of Focal Points, the UNODC adviser may play an active or a passive role. An active role may include closely working together with the Focal Point to gather the information necessary, such as a desk-based review of existing laws, policies and practices and then in-country support to meet all the relevant stakeholders with the Focal Point to ask questions and supplement the information already collated. The UN-PRAC team encourages the inclusion of non-State actors during this stage, such as the private sector and CSO counterparts, including gender advocates, where possible. This is to ensure that a comprehensive range of views contribute to the self-assessment. On the other hand, a passive role may require the UNODC adviser to merely read through a draft self-assessment and provide comments, if requested. In light of one of the key implementing principles of this Project that focuses on integrating gender throughout the Project, the UN-PRAC team will develop a gender toolkit that consists of questions that Focal Points could additionally ask during the self-assessment phase. This gender toolkit would not be used as part of the UNCAC review process, but by the UN-PRAC team and national counterparts to understand the gender challenges to preventing and fighting corruption. This may in some cases guide future action and activities.
