Poverty and corruption (pdf 205kb)
This paper looks at the importance of integrating anti-corruption platforms into a broader understanding of an individual countries development efforts.It states that across different country contexts, corruption has been a cause and consequence of poverty. Yet donors and governments still treat poverty and corruption as separate - rather than integral - components of the same strategy, which has undermined the fight against both these obstacles to development.
The paper suggests that by embracing partnership and a rights-based approach, corruption could be more effectively addressed as a collective solution to a collective problem - rather than through the efforts of individuals or parts of the system alone.
This paper is also available in French, Spanish and Chinese.
