Corruption is a major impediment to development as it diverts resources from more productive uses and negatively affects shared prosperity on a livable planet by disproportionally benefiting those in power.
Aware of corruption’s high societal and environmental costs, the World Bank Group has evolved to take on corruption’s transnational dimensions, better tailor approaches to different contexts, and adopt a more integrative approach to strengthen focus on results and outcomes, by mobilizing new knowledge, data, tools, and partnerships.
Achieving long-term economic growth and shared prosperity requires us to work together with partners in government, international organizations, the private sector, academia, and civil society to address corruption and its corrosive impacts.
