Corruption
As distinct from sensational cases of corruption in high places, CIET has examined the “petty” corruption that takes place on a broad scale in many countries, sapping the life and resources out of public service systems and adding an additional burden on the lives of countless poor people. In the Baltic States, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Tanzania, Uganda and South Africa CIET has not only documented the extent of corruption and its impact on the lives of the population, but also assembled and analysed, together with its partners in government and civil society, practical recommendations for reducing corruption and overcoming its worst effects.
