Bangladesh climate project anti-corruption recommendation / Anti-corruption for COVID / Cambodia corruption complaints

Win-win: Designing climate change projects for effective anti-corruption in Bangladesh (Blog).  “Conventional anti-corruption approaches that focus on formal mechanisms of transparency and accountability have had limited effects in Bangladesh. Our research suggests [improving] anti-corruption by designing climate change projects to maximise dual-use benefits for local communities. This triggers self-interested monitoring, particularly by influential individuals, and results in effective anti-corruption in these adverse contexts.”

Why fighting corruption matters in times of COVID-19.  “Our findings suggest that in an increasingly uncertain world, where emergencies abound, fighting corruption is key to ensuring better preparedness for crises responses.”

660 complaints on corruption filed last year.  “[Cambodia’s National Council Against Corruption] said that out of the 660 complaints filed, 350 cases were investigated and findings revealed that there was no clear evidence of corrupt deeds in almost all cases.”
