| Stated Role |
CIPE’s anti-corruption work targets both the supply and demand sides of corruption - those who demand bribes in exchange for services and those who supply bribes and demand preferential treatment. |
| Activities |
- CIPE and its partner organizations address private sector participation in corruption by working to create an environment where corrupt activities become unsustainable. <P>-CIPE’s programs seek to reform ambiguous legal systems, implement standards for government agencies, make a link between cultural norms and rule of law, and change laws to mitigate government employees’ opportunities to exert discretionary (and unsupervised) authority throughout various levels of government.<P>For a breakdown of Anti-Corruption Program activities in Mozambique see: http://www.cipe.org/programs/corruption/pdf/ACIS_toolkit.pdf |

| Notes |
Of particular interest:
African Capital Markets Forum (ACMF), Ghana- Building on recent anti-corruption and corporate governance initiatives in Ghana, the African Capital Markets Forum (ACMF) - in collaboration with an advisory committee of key business sector stakeholders - proposes to analyze the linkage between corporate governance and corruption in the country. The basic premise is that weak corporate governance systems breed corruption. Based on a survey of publicly listed companies, private companies and state enterprises, ACMF will seek to demonstrate the effectiveness of sound corporate governance practices in reducing the incidence of corruption. The analysis is expected to generate recommendations for strengthening corporate governance in Ghana for the private, public and government sectors, and combating private-sector driven or "supply-side" corruption.
