Theme for 2024: “United Against Corruption in Sustainable Development”

Corruption is a universal issue that transcends borders, affecting every nation and community. It disrupts economic stability, deepens inequality, and undermines trust in institutions. On International Anti-Corruption Day, we come together to raise awareness about the destructive effects of corruption and encourage everyone to join the fight for transparency and accountability.

Understanding Corruption

Corruption is the misuse of power for personal gain. It manifests in many ways, including bribery, embezzlement, and favoritism. The costs of corruption are staggering:

Economic Impact: An estimated $1.5 trillion in bribes are paid annually, diverting resources from essential services like education and healthcare.

Social Inequality: Corruption disproportionately affects vulnerable populations, denying them access to justice, opportunities, and basic needs.

Loss of Trust: When corruption prevails, public confidence in institutions and governance erodes.
