| Summary: | This guide focuses on one of the more
granular approaches to governance improvement, the
governance and anti-corruption diagnostic. Governance and
anti-corruption diagnostics are used as an initial strategy
to identify the nature of governance problems, to target the
key sources or institutions associated with these problems,
and to establish a baseline and indicators which can be used
to make reforms and to measure progress over time.
Increasingly, these diagnostics are becoming sectoral in
nature, meaning they are customized to assess governance and
anti-corruption in a targeted sector. If conducted properly,
the diagnostic process informs and catalyzes stakeholders to
demand reform. If repeated periodically, these diagnostics
can become useful tools to monitor governance and
anti-corruption over time. More specifically, governance and
anti-corruption diagnostics: 1) Unbundle corruption by type
- administrative, capture of the state, bidding, theft of
goods and public resources, purchase of licenses and
regulations; 2) Identify both weak institutions (which are
in need of reform) and strong institutions (which provide
examples of good governance); 3) Assess the cost of each
type of corruption on different groups of stakeholders; 4)
Provide insight into the relationship between corruption,
service quality and access, and trust in public
institutions; 5) Identify key determinants of good
governance; and 6) Serve as a strong foundation for policy
recommendations and reform. |
