Agency for State Financial Control and Combating Corruption Employees Day in Tajikistan Date in the current year: January 10, 2024

The history of anti-corruption agencies in Tajikistan began in the mid-1990s, shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the proclamation of Tajikistan’s independence. The first such agency in Tajikistan was the fiscal police, created in 1995. In 2001, the State Financial Control Department under the President of Tajikistan was transformed into the Committee for State Financial Control, which played the role of an anti-corruption agency.

In 2006, Tajikistan acceded to the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, which obliged it to bring its legislation in line with the Convention and create anti-corruption bodies. As part of anti-corruption reforms, the Committee for State Financial Control was disbanded and replaced with a special anti-corruption agency, the Agency for State Financial Control and Combating Corruption.
