The Order was issued as part of the 2012–2013 National Anti-Corruption Plan approved by the Presidential Executive Order of March 13, 2012.
In the aim of developing a common approach to the objectives, tasks and functions of the different federal agencies and departments in fighting corruption and other legal violations, it has been decided that advanced training in this area will be carried out in 2012 by the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration.
According to the Order, up to 1,000 federal civil servants whose duties include taking part in anti-corruption efforts will undergo such advanced training.
The Order recommends that regional and local government bodies also organise such training for regional civil servants and municipal employees whose official duties include the combat against corruption.
