- Description
- The magnitude of institutionalized corruption in Sub-Sahara Africa is significant. The most obvious signs of it are the crumbling roads and decomposing infrastructure, insufficient facilities and poor quality of services. The affliction of corruption slams heavily on the poor and the small businesses by locking people into an ever-ending cycle of poverty. The purpose of this study is to understand the extent to which anti-corruption policies reduced corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa, using a qualitative secondary data collection scheme that composed data from various academic and non-academic sources and publications. The study examined the state of corruption in the Sub-Saharan African region by employing key secondary data sources from the Transparency International, Corruption Perception Index, World Bank and Afro Barometer. In the course of the research, a number of country data have been investigated to discuss the extent of corruption in the public institutions. The study also discussed the efforts of the international community in tackling corruption through its efforts of anticorruption commissions and policies; some key anti-corruption commissions have been explored within the course of the research. In conclusion, the research found out that anti-corruption strategies in the region are ineffective due to the many challenges confronted including but not limited to lack of specialization in handling corruption cases, political interference, poor coordination among anti-corruption agencies, and weak legal framework for executing relevant strategies. In addition, this research examined the state of Somalia corruption as a case study and concluded, that in order to address the prevalent corruption that affected all public and private offices in the country, bottom-up reforming strategy is crucial, in which every office and official is accountable for their decisions and action to reduce the level of corruption and restore public accountability. Finally, in the global and regional efforts to combat corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa, it is seen as a long-standing struggle that is yet to achieve but this could be realized when both governments and citizens are collaborating in the fight against corruption collectively.
