ACC COMMISISONER AUGUSTINE FODAY NGOB IE DEPUTY COMMISSIONER A s the national coordina- tion vehicle, the NACS Secretariat is at the core of the effective implementation of the National Anti - Corruption Strategy (NACS). In an effort towards strengthening its effectiveness, the Secretariat has undertaken an in - depth review of its functions and operations. Irrespective of the tremendous gains already attained, what has become glaring in this review is that the NACS needs improved publicity and increased communication. Although the Secretariat is at present unitizing the Commission’s es- tablished channels and structures such as working with the Public Education and External Outreach Department, there is still need for greater visibility for the na- tional efforts by MDAs and other partners in the combating and control of corruption. This position was reinforced by the NACS Steering Committee when they advised that the publicity should include:  Specific examples of good practice in initiating anti - corruption policies  Creating and publicly sharing league tables to publicise MDAs’ performance, and  Public recognition for good performance. Maintaining improved and good communication in the form of newsletters, bulletins, press releases and photo news is believed to enhance access to information. Therefore, the urge to effectively utilise the aforesaid communication tools can- not be overemphasized. The publication of this NACS PHOTO NEWS is geared towards contributing to the collective and diverse approaches in communicating the task of coordinating and implementing the National Anti - Corruption Strategy. This edition particularly showcases images, scenes and events, both past and present, covering the implementation and coordi- nation of the current NACS which expires in December 2023 and also photos depicting the crafting of the 2024 - 2028 National Anti - Corruption Strategy. Given its distinct set of activities and a national coordination mandate, irrespective of its institutional arrangements, NACS requires substantial innovations and new approaches to carry out its mandate effectively. Exploring such developments, partnership and avenues are now being seriously considered as the country develops its 5 th Generation National Anti - Corruption Strategy.
