Utstein Partners' anti-corruption strategies: comparative analysis

This is a presentation of the Utstein anti-corruption policies, based on a study of available documentation. The intention is to present policies and strategies in a comparative framework. This presentation does not review progress in terms of the contribution that the respective strategies have made to actually reduce corruption. An examination of the anti-corruption strategies of the four Utstein partners show that there is some variation with respect to how the respective partners have organised their responses to the challenges. DFID's strategy is most explicit in its recognition of the importance of closely integrated and holistic approaches. Commissioned by U4. Author: Johan Helland, researcher at Chr. Michelsen Institute, Norway. (Jun.2002)

Transparency International

Transparency International, the only international non-governmental organisation devoted to combating corruption, brings civil society, business, and governments together in a powerful global coalition. TI, through its International Secretariat and more than 80 independent national chapters around the world, works at both the national and international level to curb both the supply and demand of corruption. In the international arena, TI raises awareness about the damaging effects of corruption, advocates policy reform, works towards the implementation of multilateral conventions and subsequently monitors compliance by governments, corporations and banks. At the national level, chapters work to increase levels of accountability and transparency, monitoring the performance of key institutions and pressing for necessary reforms in a non-party political manner.
