Blockchain in government services / Short guide on social norms / Maritime corruption hotspots survey

How blockchain can help dismantle corruption in government services.  “Blockchain could increase the fairness and efficiency of government systems, while reducing opportunities for corruption; [it] could improve the transparency and disclosure of procurement processes, investment in which can be lost to corruption; [the] emerging technology can also enhance property and land registry systems, streamlining lengthy processes and protecting people's rights.”

About the Short Guide – Why Social Norms Matter to Anti-Corruption (Resource).  “This short guide explains why integrating social norms into accountability, corruption or integrity related programming matters and highlights possible negative consequences of the failure to do so. It follows upon our first short guide, which boils down the complexity of social norms  into the need-to-know components relevant to programming.”
