2019 EDR Presentation in the Caribbean
CAF -Development Bank of Latin America- is pleased to invite to join the webinar flagship report presentation (RED) 2019: "Integrity in public policy: Keys to prevent corruption"
Event date:
December 02, 2020
Corruption has been one of the main concerns of our region for some time now. This is hardly a surprise, considering the significant negative effects that corruption has on development. It affects the productivity and economic growth of countries, it reduces the capacity of the State to provide public goods and services, and it can weaken society’s trust in institutions.
Recent scandals have led to a resurgence of the issue, and currently the fight against corruption is a central point of public debate in Latin America and the Caribbean. With this report, CAF contributes to the ongoing reform agenda in order to promote integrity in public policies. The study covers different areas of action, including the functioning of control and oversight instances within the state; the importance of electoral and civil service systems to attract independent and honest public officials; the role of transparency initiatives and citizen control; and the strengthening of institutional and legal frameworks to limit the influence of private interests in public policy decisions.
