| Summary, etc | This report calls upon African countries and partners to move away from purely perception-based measures of corruption and to focus instead on approaches to measuring corruption that are fact-based and built on more objective quantitative criteria. The current predominantly perception-based measures of corruption are flawed and fail to provide a credible assessment of the dimensions of the problem of corruption in Africa. They focus on country ranking (“naming and shaming”) and as such do not provide useful policy insights and practical recommendations to inform policy and institutional reforms to help African countries to stem corruption. Alternative non-perception-based methods of measuring corruption remain inadequately developed and also ignore the international dimension of corruption in Africa. In assessing the magnitude of corruption in Africa, far more attention should be given to decision-making processes and their ultimate implementation, as well as the international dimension of this phenomenon. |
