SUBJECT: PERU: ANTICORRUPTION AND GOOD GOVERNANCE REPORT 
 
REF: STATE 30961 
 
1. (U) Responding to reftel, Embassy Lima submits the 
following information for the International Anticorruption 
and Good Governance Act Report. 
 
Context 
------- 
 
2. (U) Corruption is a serious problem in Peru, and the 
Government in the last several years has begun to take 
initiatives to combat it.  Peru became a pilot country for 
the G-8 anti-corruption initiative and has recently started 
to confront corruption in areas such as money laundering. 
Peru has also taken serious steps to transfer funds and 
responsibilities to the regional and local governments, 
guarding against malfeasance. 
 
3. (U) At the same time, the Government of Peru has made 
little or no progress in key areas.  Both the National 
Anticorruption Plan and the National Anticorruption 
Commission are essentially dormant.  Trials have been moving 
forward very slowly, with 217 trials for corruption by the 
anti-corruption courts, but only 24 sentences have been 
issued.  About half of the cases are still in the discovery 
phase. 
 
GOP Actions 
----------- 
 
4. (U) "Major actions taken by the host government to combat 
corruption and improve transparency and accountability." 
 
5. (U) In 2004, the Government of Peru stepped forward to 
accept the challenge of the G-8 countries to join a pilot 
program and develop an action plan and project matrix to 
combat corruption, increase transparency and enhance the 
government procurement process.  The six projects in the GOP 
matrix, with 36 project components, were focused on 
promoting transparency and strengthening the government 
procurement process.  Many, but not all, of the projects 
received funding.  The Government of Peru used its own funds 
for a number of the unfunded projects.  During 2005, the 
government completed or made substantial progress on nearly 
all the projects in its matrix.  The more substantial 
projects included designing and launching an e-government 
electronic payment system, standardizing governmental 
accounting, budgetary and financial processes, and training 
local government procurement officials (a USAID project). 
 
6. (U) The Government of Peru launched an effort to increase 
transparency and reduce the number of procedures needed to 
start a small business by consolidating forms, eliminating 
redundancies and posting all the forms and processes on a 
government website.  Peru intends to do the same with the 
most common processes and procedures affecting the public. 
To improve accountability, the Peruvian Congress established 
an Ethics Committee (with assistance from USAID programs) in 
2005, and it suspended two congressmen for improper conduct. 
 
USG-Funded Projects 
------------------- 
 
7. (U) "All USG-funded programs and initiatives to combat 
corruption and improve transparency and accountability 
within the host country, especially those focusing on law 
enforcement and legal systems and transparent governance and 
civil society." 
 
Law Enforcement and Legal Systems 
--------------------------------- 
 
8. (U) The USG has provided considerable assistance to 
combat corruption and improve transparency and 
accountability in Peru.  The State Department's Narcotics 
Affairs Section (NAS) funded a two-year contract for a 
Treasury Department advisor to help establish Peru's 
Financial Investigative Unit (FIU) and equip the FIU with a 
computer and security system.  The Department of Treasury's 
Office of Technical Assistance (OTA) provided $50,000 to the 
Peruvian National Police for computers.  The Drug 
Enforcement Agency and NAS are working closely with the 
Peruvian National Police Financial Investigation Division 
(DINFI) on money laundering cases. 
 
9. (U) The NAS-funded Treasury advisor assisted the Ministry 
of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR) with preparation of 
a draft law to better control the gaming industry to prevent 
its use in money laundering and terrorist financing.  An OTA 
advisor gave a presentation on regulation of the gaming 
industry to more than 100 representatives of the Prosecutors 
Office.  OTA worked with Peruvian Customs to provide a two- 
week training program on detecting and interdicting illegal 
and undeclared bulk cash shipments.  FinCEN funded the 
travel and lodging for three Peruvian participants for a one- 
week money laundering training program in Vienna, Virginia; 
OTA funded an additional two participants. 
 
Transparent Government 
---------------------- 
 
10. (U) USAID in Peru is administering or has completed a 
number of programs specifically focused on promoting 
transparency, public participation and combating corruption. 
Working with the state contracting agency, CONSUCODE, one 
program aims to promote transparency in government 
procurement at the local level.  CONSUCODE provided training 
to local government contracting officers, civil society, and 
entrepreneurs to ensure clear understanding of government 
contracting rules.  At the same time, CONSUCODE also trained 
local citizen oversight organizations, composed of 
representatives from stakeholder groups, to keep an eye on 
local bidding processes. 
 
11. (U) The USG also provided assistance to regional and 
local governments through its Pro-Decentralization (PRODES) 
program.  The program provided technical assistance to 
regional and municipal governments in such areas as 
participatory budgeting and planning, accountability 
procedures, government transparency, and the national 
government financial administration system (SIAF) and public 
investment system (SNIP).  The decentralization program also 
supported municipal connectivity for twelve local 
governments, giving them access to the SIAF and SNIP, and 
providing citizens the opportunity to access public 
information about their local governments.  This effort has 
been complemented by a project with the Ombudsman Office 
(Defensoria del Pueblo), whose responsibility it is to 
promote good governance and access to public information and 
ensure appropriate use of public resources and government 
neutrality in the provision of public services. 
 
12. (U) In the justice sector, the USG provided technical 
assistance to modernize the justice sector and improve 
judicial processes, including strengthening internal 
oversight mechanisms and direct assistance to the anti- 
corruption commission. 
 
Civil Society 
------------- 
 
13. (U) USAID supported three civil society groups, one each 
in the areas of justice reform, decentralization, and 
congressional reform.  Each consortium aimed to promote 
citizen participation, access to information and government 
oversight of reform processes in each sector.  Each 
consortium published regular bulletins on the performance of 
government institutions and their relative success meeting 
standards of transparency, access to information, integrity 
and ethics, and accountability. 
 
Diplomatic Efforts 
------------------ 
 
14. (U) "All U.S. diplomatic efforts relating to 
anticorruption within the past year" 
 
Assisting Peru in fighting corruption has been a top 
priority of Embassy Lima.  The Ambassador frequently raises 
corruption issues with Peruvian officials at the highest 
levels.  The Embassy requested the assignment of an economic 
officer from the Department to work primarily on corruption 
issues, including Peru's participation in the G-8 anti- 
corruption initiative.  The Embassy also assisted the GOP in 
organizing two roundtables on anticorruption with Peruvian 
government agencies and the G-8 and NGO donors.  The 
Ambassador co-chaired one of those meetings.
