“By adding value to ethics and inclusion, the LEI project aims to increase local integrity systems, citizen participation in policy making, effectiveness and efficiency of quality public services. We should identify better integrity policies for building trust. A better governance and the fight against corruption through accountability will enable us to increase the citizens’ levels of trust”, said Gaetana Morgante.
