This event made a contribution to the efforts of UNODC and UNDP to  promote actions that  undermine corruption. The 2011 joint international campaign ACT Against Corruption Today focuses on how corruption hinders efforts to achieve the internationally agreed upon Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), undermines democracy and the rule of law, leads to human rights violations, distorts markets, erodes quality of life and allows other threats to human security to flourish.
