The workshop was held at Sapphire Rooms 204–205, IMPACT Forum, Muang Thong Thani, Pak Kret District, Nonthaburi Province.

The workshop was organized by the Division of the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Prevention, the PACC, with the objective of enhancing the Integrity and Transparency Assessment (ITA) performance of all 160 department-level or equivalent agencies under its supervision to meet the assessment criteria, with target scores of no less than 85 points. The activities included a panel discussion on “Enhancing ITA Assessment: Mobilizing the Disclosure of Public Sector Information”, a discussion session on “Consultation Clinic on the Government Data Catalog System”, breakout sessions for knowledge exchange under the topic “Consultation Clinic on the FY 2026 ITA Assessment”, and a discussion on “Techniques, Methods, and Approaches for Enhancing ITA Assessment among Department-Level or Equivalent Agencies”.

In this regard, the Minister Attached to the Prime Minister’s Office emphasized the importance of mobilizing this policy in collaboration with relevant agencies to achieve concrete and tangible outcomes, particularly in promoting greater awareness among public agencies of the importance of transparent disclosure of public service information and the honest and ethical performance of official duties. These efforts are expected to contribute to improving Thailand’s Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), enhancing ITA assessment results across government agencies, and strengthening public confidence in the public sector.
