THE 2019 International Anti-Corruption Day celebrations will be held in Nay Pyi Taw Council Area, and in states and regions across Myanmar on 9 December.

International Anti-Corruption Day has been observed annually, on 9 December, since the passage of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, signed by UN member states as UN General Assembly resolution 58/4 on 31 October, 2003.

Myanmar officially signed the Convention and became a member state in 2012. Like other member states, Myanmar organizes International Anti-Corruption Day celebrations annually.

The basic education students’ essay competitions, poem recitation contests and musical performances competitions are organized to mark the International Anti-Corruption Day. The booths displaying anti-corruption activities are also included.
