A users guide to measuring corruption by Global Integrity and the UNDP Oslo Governance Centre

A Users’ Guide to Measuring Corruption was commissioned by the UNDP Oslo Governance Centre to Global Integrity. This users' guide proposes ways to measure corruption, but with some important caveats:

-

the need for users of corruption measurement tools to employ multiple sources of quantitative data, qualitative narrative analysis and real-life case studies to “paint a picture” of corruption in a country, sub-national, or sector context.

- the need for users to gravitate toward “actionable” measurements that provide insight into where reforms can be made (there is little value in an anti-corruption measurement if it does not tell us what needs to be fixed).

This guide has been notably developed from the amalgamation of more than 30 interviews with individuals from dozens of countries who are working on corruption and governance reforms, including government officials, development practitioners, donor representatives and multilateral specialists.
