- [Protecting Those Who Speak Up ](https://info.anti-corruption.org/2026/06/23/protecting-those-who-speak-up/) - Whistleblower protection is widely recognized as a cornerstone of effective anti-corruption efforts and accountable governance. Yet in many countries, people who witness corruption still face significant barriers to reporting wrongdoing, from fear of retaliation and concerns about confidentiality to a lack of trust that reports will be acted upon. As a result, corruption often remains
- [3 Milestones for Successful Anti-Corruption Reform in Kyrgyz Republic ](https://info.anti-corruption.org/2026/06/09/3-milestones-for-successful-anti-corruption-reform-in-kyrgyz-republic/) - From policy innovation to practical tools, the Kyrgyz Republic is strengthening transparency, accountability, and public trust. By UNDP Kyrgyzstan Trust in public institutions is essential for sustainable development. In the Kyrgyz Republic, this principle is driving a new generation of anti-corruption reforms focused not only on enforcement, but on prevention, transparency, and systemic change. While

This prompted Uganda to focus on open governance and transparency as a way to improve both value for money and quality of public infrastructure. In 2014 Uganda joined CoST, the Infrastructure Transparency Initiative, bringing

Yet in many countries, legal frameworks exist on paper while fear of retaliation, lack of confidentiality, and weak enforcement continue to discourage individuals from reporting wrongdoing. Bridging the gap between policy intent and practical impact is therefore a central priority
- [Strengthening Transparency and Efficiency through Sri Lanka’s e-Procurement Monitoring System ](https://info.anti-corruption.org/2026/01/27/strengthening-transparency-and-efficiency-through-sri-lankas-e-procurement-monitoring-system/) - Public procurement is one of the largest areas of public expenditure in Sri Lanka, directly shaping the efficiency of service delivery and the trust citizens place in government. Until recently, the National Procurement Commission (NPC) relied on paper-based reporting and manual monitoring. Hundreds of public institutions submitted procurement plans and performance reports as hard copies, often late and incomplete. This
- [Namibia’s Fight Against Corruption: Turning Progress Into Lasting Change ](https://info.anti-corruption.org/2025/12/22/namibias-fight-against-corruption-turning-progress-into-lasting-change/) - In 2025, Namibia is standing at a critical juncture in its fight against corruption. While the country has long enjoyed a reputation for relatively clean governance in Sub-Saharan Africa, recent years have brought mounting public frustration, high-profile investigations, and an ambitious new push to restore trust in public institutions. A Renewed National Effort At the heart

Since 2023, UNDP Mexico has been working closely with the Executive Secretariat of the National Anticorruption System (SESNA) to help meet this challenge—supporting both national and

The global development community, through the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, recognizes that accountable, transparent, and inclusive institutions are the backbone of just and peaceful societies. For Sri Lanka, the pursuit of SDG 16 – Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, became particularly significant during the
- [Placing Youth at the Heart of Corruption Measurement ](https://info.anti-corruption.org/2026/03/19/placing-youth-at-the-heart-of-corruption-measurement/) - Despite a growing ecosystem of youth-responsive indicators and expanding corruption measurement tools, youth perspectives remain unevenly integrated into anti-corruption frameworks. Following the 2nd Global Conference on Harnessing Data to Improve Corruption Measurement, governments, international organizations, academia, and civil society renewed commitments to strengthen corruption data and called for greater multidisciplinary collaboration. This momentum raises a
- [Service Delivery Sector](https://info.anti-corruption.org/2025/11/06/service-delivery-sector/) - While addressing corruption from a holistic angle can be preferable, a targeted sectoral approach is more realistic and practical to implement anti-corruption interventions in various sectors such as education, health and water, and natural resources management. Such an approach enables the development and implementation of sector-specific anti-corruption plans that address the leakages and mismanagement of allocated resources as well as promote institutional integrity in sectors. It has a positive cumulative impact on preventing corruption.
- [Human Rights](https://info.anti-corruption.org/2025/11/06/human-rights/) - Transparency and social accountability are key elements in the fight against corruption. Particularly, they have been recognized as pivotal to the enjoyment of human rights. In an institutional and political environment where access to public services suffers from corruption and obscurity, citizens’ monitoring of services, budgets and infrastructure play a vital role in improving the quality of service delivery and the protection of human rights.
- [Female Empowerment](https://info.anti-corruption.org/2025/11/06/female-empowerment/) - Corruption is not gender neutral; it has different impacts on both women and men. Considering that women often face social, cultural, political and institutional discrimination, they encounter even more repression and social exclusion in a corruption-ridden society. Therefore, anti-corruption measures need to be gender responsive to facilitate gender equality and women’s empowerment. Corruption reinforces existing gender inequalities by limiting women’s access to public services, justice, and economic opportunities. Women, particularly those with caregiving responsibilities, often bear the greatest burden as they are more dependent on public institutions for healthcare, education, and social protection.
- [Climate Change](https://info.anti-corruption.org/2025/11/06/climate-change/) - Responding to the effects of climate change and the mismanagement of natural resources has direct and significant consequences for poverty reduction and sustainable human development. In an effort to mitigate the negative impacts, substantial amounts of funds have been pledged and directed toward climate change adaptation and mitigation measures. Similarly, the number of countries relying on extracting resources has been increasing, partly driven by high demand and prices for commodities. The extent to which climate finance or revenues from the extractive sector positively contribute to sustainable human development depends on the extent to which the money is spent for the intended purposes, without corruption and leakage.
- [Post Conflict and Transition Countries](https://info.anti-corruption.org/2025/11/06/post-conflict-and-transition-countries/) - Addressing corruption in post-conflict and transition contexts is one of the major priorities for development actors. One in four people in the world are affected by conflict (United Nations 2024). Corruption is identified as a major factor in derailing political and economic transitions, undermining state capacity and legitimacy, exacerbating poverty and fueling grievances linked to conflict. Often in such contexts, the immediate focus on peace building and state-building comes at the expense of promoting integrity, transparency and accountability in the governance process. Lack of emphasis on transparency and accountability in state-building processes could create opportunities for corruption and limit gains possible from peace.
- [UNCAC Implementation](https://info.anti-corruption.org/2025/11/06/uncac-implementation/) - The United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC or the Convention) was adopted by the UN General Assembly resolution 58/4 of 31 October 2003 and entered into force on 14 December 2005. It is the first global agreement on measures against corruption, which legally binds States Parties, on an equal footing to implement the convention. UNCAC is a global standard for fighting corruption and corruption risk mitigation. It encompasses a comprehensive collection of measures and approaches to prevent and combat corruption. The almost universal adoption of UNCAC by State Parties has confirmed not only that corruption is a globally recognised problem across developed as well as developing countries, but also that Member States are placing anti-corruption firmly on their agendas. UNCAC substantive content is clustered in six main chapters including: prevention, criminalization, law enforcement, international cooperation, asset recovery and technical assistance.
- [Measurement and Monitoring](https://info.anti-corruption.org/2025/11/06/measurement-and-monitoring/) - Corruption measurement/assessment and anti-corruption monitoring and evaluation are crucial ingredients to increase our knowledge on what works and what doesn’t in the fight against corruption. To be effective anti-corruption programmes must be based on a sound foundation of corruption risk assessments or measurement of the extent that corruption has permeated the public and private institutions. However, the issue of corruption measurement and anti-corruption monitoring and evaluation requires looking at different tools, techniques, and methods depending on what is going to be measured. There is no single formula or one-fits-all approach that will unravel the complexity of these issues. In this page, users will find different tools, methods and practices developed by different organizations and countries.
- [Illicit Financial Flows](https://info.anti-corruption.org/2025/11/06/illicit-financial-flows/) - Financing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and poverty reduction continues to be recognized as one of the most significant challenges to achieving progress. Two major limitations have been observed when dealing with this challenge. First, corruption and poor governance persist as major bottlenecks for the achievement of the SDGs due to the vast amount of resources lost through corrupt practices. It is now widely acknowledged that illicit financial flows (IFFs) represent a considerable drain on financial resources from developing countries. According to Global Financial Integrity (2021), developing countries lost an estimated US$1.6 trillion in illicit financial outflows in 2018 alone, primarily through trade misinvoicing, tax evasion, and corruption-related activities.
- [SDGs](https://info.anti-corruption.org/2025/11/06/sdgs/) - Corruption undermines human development. It diverts public resources away from the provision of essential services. It increases inequality and hinders national and local economic development by distorting markets for goods and services. It corrodes rule of law and destroys public trust in governments and leaders. The financial and economic costs of corruption are immense. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that approximately US$1.5 to 2 trillion are paid in bribes every year (IMF, 2018). The overall cost of corruption including embezzlement, misallocation of public funds and fraud, may exceed US$2.6 trillion annually, or roughly 5% of global GDP (World Bank, 2022; United Nations, 2018).
- [Our oceans depend on accountable, inclusive and transparent governance](https://info.anti-corruption.org/2025/10/30/our-oceans-depend-on-accountable-inclusive-and-transparent-governance/) - Effective marine and coastal conservation relies on governance institutions that ensure inclusion and participation, uphold accountability and the rule of law, and ensure transparency while controlling corruption and illegal practice.
