The deadline for the acceptance of nominations for the National Integrity Award 2014 (NIA) has been extended until 5 September.
Transparency International Sri Lanka (TISL) decided to extend the date from 20 August to 5 September following requests made by applicants for more time to submit their nominations.
Those interested can obtain details by calling 0114369781.
The National Integrity Award is presented to outstanding individuals and/ or organizations for demonstrating exceptional integrity in public engagement. The NIA is the signature event organized to commemorate the United Nations Anti -Corruption Day, which falls on 9 December, designated to ‘raise awareness of corruption and of the role of the United Nations Anti-Corruption Convention in combating and preventing it.’
TISL is conducting the NIA for the 11th successive year. TISL has so far recognised the courage of 19 individuals and two organisations. Eleven of them were winners and the others received ‘special mention’ awards.
Individuals and organisations are invited to nominate persons or organisations who have shown exemplary courage for the cause of integrity in the fight against corruption in any sector or sphere. The accepted nominations will go through a process of inspection and selection carried out by a panel comprising highly-reputed and respected individuals.
