Anticorruption strategy for DFID

This DFID policy paper investigates the causes and effects of corruption on the development process and proposes a holistic global strategy for combating corruption involving action in a number of area. These include: supporting poorer states committed to effective anti-corruption strategies; driving out bribery from international trade, business and procurement; deterring money laundering of funds corruptly acquired in developing countries; and protecting development assistance from corruption. In recognising that the interests of developed countries play a part in corruption, the paper underlines that particular responsibility arises from action taken by their citizens and companies.
