The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) in collaboration with the National Integrity Forum (NIF) will on Monday, December 10, 2012, celebrate International Anti-Corruption Day (IACD). According to a press release, this year's celebration is being sponsored by UNDP.

December 9 has been designated as International Anti-Corruption Day by the General Assembly of the United Nations when it adopted the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) on 31 October 2003. Since December 9 falls on Sunday, the day will be celebrated on Monday, December 10, 2012.

The celebration of International Anti-Corruption Day is aimed at raising awareness that prevention of corruption is the responsibility of all stakeholders through the involvement of a broad-range of actors in the campaign. The day serves as an opportunity for all organizations and individuals worldwide to create awareness about corruption and to promote anti-corruption activities. The global theme for the 2012 International Anti-Corruption Day Celebration is "ACT against corruption today", while the national theme is "War against Corruption in the Education Sector". Corruption "Your No Counts" remains the global slogan.
