Since 2006, MSI has implemented the National Capacity Development project or TATWEER (in Arabic). The project works around a philosophy of demand-driven, collaborative support to the Government of Iraq’s (GOI) efforts to rebuild and reform its public management systems. It also focuses on reestablishing its civil service training infrastructure and enhancing the skills of the senior and middle managers of key civilian Ministries. TATWEER advisors interact daily with their ministerial colleagues in the Prime Minister's Office and Secretariat of the Council of Ministers, and the Ministries of Electricity, Oil, Agriculture, Municipalities & Public Works, Finance, Health, Planning, Water Resources, Justice, Migration and Human Rights.

MSI worked in Mexico from 2004 to 2007 to improve the transparency and fairness of criminal dispute resolution. Through MSI’s efforts all thirty-one states and the federal district adopted or will introduce legislation to reform criminal investigation and court procedures. The project, entitled PRODERECHO, formed networks that include civil servants, professionals, and educators to ensure that current accomplishments will remain sustainable.

The MCC Threshold Project in Ukraine, ACTION, works with civil society and media groups to mobilize their efforts to fight corruption in the administrative, judicial, regulatory, and higher education sectors. Implemented by MSI with funding from USAID, the project conducts detailed independent monitoring of corruption trends to assess progress made by Ukrainian Government initiatives. To date, millions of Ukrainians have been made aware of the negative consequences of corruption and grantees have advocated effectively for anticorruption reforms that will improve governance.
