The latest Global Integrity Index

Global Integrity released its latest Integrity Index this week. It includes scores and narrative descriptions about corruption in countries worldwide. This year’s press release briefly considers the effect of foreign aid on anti-corruption enforcement. It cites Uganda and Bosnia & Herzegovina as countries with major donor support that have not made significant gains, “lending credence to some who argue that political leaders in aid-dependent countries are skillful at establishing laws and institutions to meet foreign donor requirements despite those same laws and institutions failing to deliver for ordinary citizens.”
