Africa – Business Integrity – Transformational Index (137 countries)

Weak oversight mechanisms and Africa's sea-blindness make the maritime industry an ideal target for graft. "Corruption can involve facilitation payments to customs officers to allow illegal goods through or turn a blind eye to specific procedural requirements. Bribes are also paid to gain contracts, affect quota allocation or influence tenders."

It's a decision you're going to have to revisit multiple times under complex circumstances. There will be many "steal bread to save your starving family" moments along the way."
