National Integrity System (NIS) Assessment
The NIS assessment approach used in this report provides a framework to analyze the effectiveness of Aruba’s institutions in preventing and fighting corruption and in fostering transparency and integrity.
The framework includes all principal institutions and actors that form a state. These include all branches of government, the public and private sectors, the media, and civil society. However, when the institutions are characterized by a lack of appropriate regulations and by unaccountable behavior, corruption is likely to thrive, with negative knock-on effects on important goals such as good governance, sustainable development and quality of life.
