09:00 – 10:30 International Anti-Corruption Academy (IACA)
Measuring the Effectiveness of Anti-Corruption Agencies
This session will explore the critical question of how to assess the effectiveness
of anti-corruption agencies (ACAs). Drawing on comparative research and
practical experience, IACA will present current approaches to evaluate
ACA capacity and performance, highlighting both the tools available and
the limitations that remain. The discussion will introduce key performance
dimensions and indicators, offering guidance on how agencies can interpret
results responsibly and use them to strengthen institutional credibility and
impact.
10:30 – 11:00 Coffee break
11:00 – 12:30 Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC)
Practical Experience in Evaluating and Sustaining Agency Effectiveness
This session examines the ICAC’s evolving journey in evaluating its effectiveness.
Building on decades of assessment practice, it will reflect on how engagement
in international expert forums on new measurement methodologies benefits
ACAs’s work by broadening its evaluative horizons. Lessons from Hong Kong’s
experience will highlight how perpetual reflection, institutional resilience, and
public trust underpin the ICAC’s credibility as an adaptive anti-corruption agency.
Department of Justice (DoJ) of Hong Kong
Beyond Conviction: Measuring Effectiveness Through Transnational Asset Recovery –
The Hong Kong Experience
Beyond conviction rates, a robust measure of an anti-corruption agency’s
effectiveness is its ability to ensure corruption is a ‘high-risk, low-gain’ venture.
This session explores the impact metrics of transnational asset recovery,
with the Department of Justice (DoJ) of Hong Kong, China, sharing extensive
experience in tracing and securing ‘tainted’ assets across borders. Through the
lens of real-world operational experience, the DoJ illustrates how disrupting
financial incentives serves as a powerful deterrent, translating theoretical
effectiveness into concrete results that uphold the rule of law.
