Description
This tool assists representatives from civil society organisations, government and business, to identify, assess and communicate the corruption risks arising during the selection of infrastructure projects – when decisions are being made about what type of projects are needed. The assessment levels encompass the “initial” (broader political and governance context) and “detailed” phase (project-specific vulnerabilities).
Tool Outcome
The tool identifies the loopholes that enable corruption to take hold early in the project cycle, during the selection of an infrastructure project.
Themes
Anticorruption and Transparency
