The GD report proposes a set of prioritized, time-bound reform measures aimed at strengthening economic governance, rule of law and reducing corruption vulnerabilities. The authorities have committed to strengthening governance and reducing corruption, providing a critical opportunity to address the long-standing vulnerabilities.
