Annually on International Anti-corruption Day, The Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani Anti-Corruption Excellence Award or ACE Award is an international recognition established to honor and support the global fight against corruption. Named after Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of the State of Qatar, the award underscores the commitment of the nation and its leadership to promote transparency, accountability, and the rule of law.
The award aims to recognize and honor the significant contributions of individuals, organizations, and governments worldwide in preventing and combating corruption. The broader objective is to foster zero tolerance towards corruption and inspire more individuals and institutions to participate in anti-corruption efforts actively.
The award features several categories: research, youth creativity, innovative projects, and lifetime or outstanding achievement. Each highlights a different aspect or approach to the battle against corruption.
Nominees undergo a stringent evaluation process. An independent committee of experts from different world regions assesses the contributions based on their impact, innovation, sustainability, and cooperation.
An annual award ceremony is held in different countries, bringing together leaders, activists, and stakeholders worldwide. The event honors the awardees and serves as a platform for discussions, networking, and sharing best practices in anti-corruption efforts.
The award is in collaboration with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). This partnership underscores the global nature of the initiative and aligns it with the broader international efforts against corruption.
Over the years, the award has shed light on many outstanding anti-corruption efforts, giving them a global platform. It has significantly inspired and motivated activists, policymakers, and institutions to enhance their anti-corruption initiatives.
The Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani Anti-Corruption Excellence Award is a testament to the global commitment to eliminating corruption, promoting best practices, and celebrating those who lead the way in creating a more transparent and accountable world.
