ABOUT
US
The National
Accountability Bureau is Pakistan's apex anti-corruption organization. It is
charged with the responsibility of elimination of corruption through a holistic
approach of awareness, prevention and enforcement. It operates under the
National Accountability Ordinance-1999. With its headquarter at Islamabad, it has four regional offices in the provincial capitals and
one at Rawalpindi. It takes cognizance of all offences falling
within the National Accountability Ordinance (NAO).
For the initial
three years, the focus of its functions was directed only at detection,
investigation and prosecution of white-collar crime. Those prosecuted include
politicians, public service officials and other citizens who were either guilty
of gross abuse of powers, or through corruption had deprived the national
exchequer of millions or resorted to other corrupt practices. In February 2002,
NAB launched the National Anticorruption Strategy (NACS) project. The NACS team
conducted broad based surveys, studied external models of international
anti-corruption agencies and involved local stakeholder. All pillars of National
Integrity System were studied in detail. After identifying the causes of
corruption in each pillar, a comprehensive strategy and a detail action plan was
recommended. Breaking away from traditional enforcement based routines NACS has
recommended a comprehensive process. Relevant amendments have been made in NAO
and now NAB is empowered to undertake prevention and awareness in addition to
its enforcement functions.
