Anti-Corruption Handbook

The idea of a handbook on fighting corruption emerged from a realization that many Bank staff have had experiences with corruption. Some devised ways to minimize corruption, using informal mechanisms, savvy, and courage. Others were confounded as they followed standard operating procedures yet sensed that the procedures were sometimes being circumvented. Some Bank staff have commented that there has been a tendency to focus on project outcomes rather than on whether there was corruption. Staff perceived a tradeoff between getting needed services to the poor and ensuring that corruption was eliminated. While staff did not believe that they could ensure zero corruption, some were ambivalent about the goal of zero tolerance for corruption. This ambivalence was compounded by the burden of proof required to prove corruption and the perception that the Bank was not taking corruption seriously as a development issue.
