A brief history of measuring corruption…
In the beginning...
1995:Corruption Perceptions Index (Transparency International)
1996: Worldwide Governance Indicators (World Bank)
Surveys asked citizens if corruption was a problem. Most of them said yes.
You’ve got corruption!

A brief history of measuring corruption…
You’ve got corruption!But we’re
not sure who’s worse!
The Comparison Problem
Virtually all first-generation governance, anti- corruption, and corruption indicators are not suitable for cross-country comparisons or for tracking changes over time.
Uses and Abuses of Governance Indicators, Arndt & Oman, OECD 2006.
![Page 12: 1. Who we are/what we do - Regional Anti-Corruption …rai-see.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Presentation_of...What We Do National assessments Global Integrity Report (annual) Sub-national](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050105/5f43bde4a7ce2264f0138767/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A brief history of measuring corruption…
You’ve got corruption!But we’re
not sure who’s worse!
And we can’tagree on what
that means!
The Labeling Problem
It’s often unclear what is being measured.
“Rule of law” or “democracy” carry different meanings in different places.
Even narrow, focused assessment tools use broad labels like “governance” or “control of corruption.”
![Page 13: 1. Who we are/what we do - Regional Anti-Corruption …rai-see.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Presentation_of...What We Do National assessments Global Integrity Report (annual) Sub-national](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050105/5f43bde4a7ce2264f0138767/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A brief history of measuring corruption…
You’ve got corruption!But we’re
not sure who’s worse!
And we can’tagree on what
that means!Seriously, don’t bother!
The Incentive Problem
Delays between action and measurement means governments have little incentive to improve.
Poor linkages between metricsand policy decisions make feedback loop indirect.
Reforms can actually decrease scores by exposing problems to public view.

EIU data hasn’t changed at all in twelve years in Vietnam?
Global Integrity data only exist for 2006… yet it is made to appear as if 2007 & 2008 data exist as well!

“How well or badly do you think your current government is handling the following matters: Fighting Corruption in Government [very badly, fairly badly, fairly well, very well, haven’t heard enough]”
– Afrobarometer
“How problematic is corruption for the growth of your business?”
– Business Enterprise Surveys
“Is corruption in government widespread?” – Gallup World Poll
Good questions gone bad…

• Misleading to aid donors: skews assessments of effectiveness and impact
• Misleading to the public: undercuts demand-side reforms

What are the Integrity Indicators?
320 discrete questions per country (differs for local and sector tools)
“In law” vs. “In practice” – capturing the implementation gap
Each indicator has a score, an explanatory comment and a supporting reference
Ordinal scoring (0, 25, 50, 75, 100) anchored by unique scoring criteria
Double-blind and transparent peer review comments
100% transparency: all disaggregated scores, comments, references,and peer review comments published.

Seven Best Practices
Know what you want to measure
Numbers not always the answer
Political-economy analysis can be powerful
1. Set expectations appropriately
![Page 38: 1. Who we are/what we do - Regional Anti-Corruption …rai-see.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Presentation_of...What We Do National assessments Global Integrity Report (annual) Sub-national](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050105/5f43bde4a7ce2264f0138767/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Not all governance reforms can (or should) be linked to measureable poverty reduction/MDGs.
Use detailed, rigorous surveys and focus groups to show:
– Changes in experiences– Changes in policy– Changes in service delivery
Link data to appropriate impact
![Page 39: 1. Who we are/what we do - Regional Anti-Corruption …rai-see.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Presentation_of...What We Do National assessments Global Integrity Report (annual) Sub-national](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050105/5f43bde4a7ce2264f0138767/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Worst case abuse: “The contractor should deliver a 15% increase in the country’s score on the next round of the Corruption Perceptions Index.”
Not only is this impossible, but also irresponsible and misleading to stakeholders.
Do no harm
![Page 40: 1. Who we are/what we do - Regional Anti-Corruption …rai-see.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Presentation_of...What We Do National assessments Global Integrity Report (annual) Sub-national](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050105/5f43bde4a7ce2264f0138767/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Country ownership only works when government is an honest broker.
Country ownership in Philippines? Sure.
Burma? Unlikely.
Avoid the ownership cliché

Leverage local expertise

Sub-national and sector assessments represent the bleeding edge of the agenda.
Go deep rather than wide
