This book outlines evidence-based and data-driven strategies for
combating grand corruption in Africa. Although the causes of
corruption vary from country to country, this book suggests that
corruption in Africa is often a direct consequence of poorly conceived
legislation, policies, and institutional loopholes. The authors in
this solution-oriented book converge in arguing that effective
strategies to combat corruption (corruption proofing) should integrate
an independent enforcement system, vigilant civil society, vibrant
media, and political leadership. Utilising empirical evidence and a
systems thinking approach, the contributors also uncover root causes
of corruption and identify high-leverage interventions to prevent
abuse of entrusted power for personal gain. The book recommends an
integrated proactive strategy that includes top-down, bottom-up, and
multi-stakeholder approaches in the implementation of anti-corruption
legislation and policies. Bringing together multidisciplinary and
transdisciplinary research, the chapters in this volume include case
studies from selected countries on the continent, including Cameroon,
Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. Providing readers with a
range of effective and functional initiatives in combating corruption
in Africa, this book will be of interest to students and researchers
of corruption, governance, ethics, peace and security, development,
and African studies, as well as policymakers, practitioners,
development partners, among other stakeholders.
