International Anticorruption Day 9 December 2019 Philippines Since 2011, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has observed International Anticorruption Day on 9 December to commemorate the United Nations Convention Against Corruption's passage in 2003. Bank-wide events are held to raise staff awareness of anticorruption issues and ADB’s fight against these. ADB’s commitment against corruption is aligned with the goals of Strategy 2030.
