Programme for transparent and citizen-oriented public administration in Peru

In Peru, the programme aims to ensure that all three levels of government operate transparently, efficiently and with a clear focus on citizens.

Peru is pursuing accession to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). This landmark policy ambition requires deep reforms in public administration, anti-corruption frameworks and governance standards. Despite significant progress, important structural gaps remain. Integrity systems are inconsistent across government levels, corruption risks are not adequately managed, and institutional capacities require targeted strengthening.

The Complementary Measure directly supports the overarching programme “Comply with the OECD Standards: Governance with Integrity”. The programme is financed by KfW Development Bank and commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). In close alignment with Peru’s national reform agenda, the measure provides timely expert consultancy to the Peruvian Government. The consultancy is provided to the Presidency of the Council of Ministers of Peru and the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Peru. It strengthens the institutional and structural conditions required for OECD compliance. The measures include institutional strengthening, capacity building, process redesign, and the development of open government and communication mechanisms.

Impact

Strengthened anti-corruption architecture: The project directly advances Peru's National Policy on Integrity and the Fight against Corruption to 2040, embedding OECD-aligned standards into public institutions across all three levels of government.
Enhanced institutional capacity: Tailored training programmes and standardised integrity evaluation tools equip senior public officials with the competencies needed for transparent, accountable governance.
Improved regulatory and digital infrastructure: New digital platforms for conflict-of-interest management, regulatory consultation, and decision-support systems lay the foundation for evidence-based public administration.
Regional economic development: Fifteen business plans and strategic studies for prioritised production chains support inclusive territorial development and strengthen the operational effectiveness of Regional Development Agencies.
OECD accession readiness: By addressing compliance gaps across integrity, fiscal governance, and public management reform, the project makes a measurable contribution to Peru's structured path towards full OECD membership.
