| description |
Rarely discussed 15 years ago, the
commitment of political leaders to reform--that is, their
willingness to implement and sustain reform--is now widely
accepted as crucial for aid effectiveness. Nowhere is
political commitment more important--and more difficult to
sustain--than in implementing reforms to fight corruption.
Governments increasingly seek external assistance to meet
this challenge. More than any other public sector reform,
reducing corruption may threaten poltical coalitions and a
government's survival--and threats to political
survival weaken the resolve of even the most committed
leaders. This Note describes methods that might be used to
objectively evaluate a government's political
commitment to reducing corruption, whether petty, grand or systemic. |
