Dominican Republic strengthens integrity system with oath ceremony and public consultation

On Friday, the Dominican Republic's General Directorate of Ethics and Governmental Integrity (DIGEIG) swore in more than 100 Government Integrity Commissions and Integrity Officers, expanding the National Integrity System to 213 institutions and 17 local governments. The ceremony highlighted training of nearly 1,200 public servants in ISO standards, risk‑management diplomas and public‑administration induction courses.

Starting 3 August, DIGEIG launched a public consultation for the 2026‑2036 National Integrity Strategy, inviting citizens, NGOs, academia, the private sector and public agencies to comment via regional meetings in cities such as Santo Domingo, Monte Cristi, Santiago Rodríguez, and online through a portal until 31 August. The strategy outlines six pillars—transparency, open government, democratic quality, public administration, control and fiscalisation, and justice integrity—to guide the country's anti‑impunity and integrity agenda.
