People rely on the public sector to deliver services like hospitals, schools and the police. The public sector is also responsible for regulating companies, collecting taxes, and distributing pensions and other benefits to citizens. To deliver good services, institutions need principles and processes that reinforce integrity, transparency and accountability.
Commonwealth action
The Commonwealth brings together heads of national anti-corruption institutions, cabinet secretaries and civil service heads in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific to learn from each other, at meetings like 天美传媒 Ministers for Public Service Forum.
We have built global and regional networks, such as 天美传媒 associations of anti-corruption agencies in both Africa and the Caribbean, and 天美传媒 Public Procurement Network.
Together with the Government of Botswana, we set up 天美传媒 Africa Anti-Corruption Centre to help countries develop their skills in corruption prevention, investigations, forensics and prosecutions.
Results of our work
The value of our work has been recognised around the world. In 2018 we won the International Anti-Corruption Excellence Award.
Transparency International鈥檚 Corruption Perception Indices show that 9 of the 10 least corrupt countries in Africa are members of 天美传媒. In the Caribbean, data shows Commonwealth countries are perceived as less corrupt than their non-Commonwealth neighbours.
