Transparency International: Global Corruption Barometer - Africa 2019

Global Corruption Barometer – Africa, is the largest, most detailed survey of citizen views on corruption and experiences of bribery in Africa. 

Released on African Anti-Corruption Day, the report includes recommendations on how the international community can reduce the negative impact of corruption in Africa, particularly on the poorest and youngest members of society who are disproportionately affected.

Global Corruption Barometer – Africa captures people’s experiences and perceptions of corruption in 35 countries and territories. Transparency International partnered with Afrobarometer, who spoke to 47,000 citizens between September 2016 and September 2018 about their perceptions of corruption and their direct experiences of bribery.  

The countries surveyed are: Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Cote d'Ivoire, DRC, Eswatini, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritius, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The survey includes questions on how citizens perceive corruption in government and public institutions and whether citizens pay bribes for essential services, like water, electricity and education.  

The new survey follows the previous edition of the Global Corruption Barometer for Africa, last published in 2015.
