The Office of the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) provided consultations to assessment units to improve their Integrity and Transparency Assessment (ITA) scores for the 2025 fiscal year at a session held at Phuket Provincial Hall this week.
The initiative aimed to enhance knowledge, offer guidance and promote good governance principles among government agencies in the province. Officials also reviewed ongoing anti-corruption action plans to ensure their consistent implementation.
During the session, an advisory team presented strategies for improving ITA results, addressed key assessment questions and engaged with agency representatives to discuss challenges and solutions.
The feedback will help refine operations in alignment with transparency and ethical standards, said an official report of the meeting.
Strengthening transparency in Phuket’s government agencies is expected to improve administrative accountability, boost public confidence and enhance the overall efficiency of government services.
