In an effort to measure and track the prevalence of corruption around the world, Transparency International, a global movement working in over 100 countries to end the injustice of corruption, developed the Corruption Perceptions Index(CPI).
The issue of corruption has always been a significant concern in many countries around the world. It can take many forms, from bribery and embezzlement to influence peddling and misappropriation of funds.
According to the organization, the final CPI results for 2022 demonstrate how corruption undermines Sub-Saharan Africa’s interconnected routes to democracy, security, and prosperity, especially in times of world crisis. A higher cost of living and the COVID-19 epidemic have a negative impact on the region’s ability to recover. The effects of economic, ecological, and healthcare concerns need significant financial resources, which cannot be lost to corruption.
