Corruption and illicit financial flows undermine democracy, security, and development in Africa. Good governance reforms, freedom protection, and political integrity are crucial to address this challenge.
Overview
The government and public sector play a vital role in providing essential services to citizens. However, it faces challenges like inefficiencies, corruption, and mismanagement of resources. Sub-Saharan Africa scores an average of 32 out of 100 in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), indicating a stagnant situation (Transparency International, 2022). 44 of 49 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa score below 50 on the CPI (Transparency International, 2022). Africa loses approximately $88.6 billion annually due to illicit financial flows (Global Financial Integrity, 2020).
