Economic Transformation Strategy
CHAPTER 2 / BROAD STRATEGY FOR DEVELOPMENT
2.2. Strengthen border security.
Seychelles' vast Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is vulnerable and will need to be properly protected. This will be
achieved through a comprehensive strategy aimed at increasing capacity of the marine security and safety entities,
together with strong border control at all ports of entry.
2.3. Prevent corruption in all forms.
Corruption undermines policy effectiveness and is a barrier to development. This strategy calls for the strengthening,
independence and access to redress of the Office of the Ombudsman, Public Officers Ethics Commission, Public Ser-
vice Appeal Board, Human Rights Commission and Anti-Corruption Commission of Seychelles (ACCS). The strategy
also calls for an executive that is fully subject to the laws of the country as well as an independent legal system guar-
anteeing equality for all before the law. It will also require the people who have been affected (e.g. asked for a bribe)
to report the offending persons to the appropriate authority.
