Internationally, most States have established anti-corruption agencies as special tools for combating corruption in various forms, as corruption is a transnational organised crime. This requires synergies, alliances and collaborations among states and various players.

In order to maintain sound diplomatic relationships, protocol and mutual legal assistance channels, a dedicated unit such as the ZACC’s External Relations and International Conventions or the External Cooperation and International Affairs as it is called in many countries has become unavoidable.
