Since its establishment in 1993, Transparency International has campaigned to convince the leadership of the World Bank that it has a critical role to play in curbing corruption in order to reduce poverty, human rights abuses and undemocratic forms of government around the world.
In recent years, the Bank has committed to combat corruption in its operations and internally. Transparency International is deeply concerned that the current controversy could negatively affect the Bank’s wider anti-corruption efforts, in particular the Governance and Anti-corruption Strategy. Implementation of the strategy should remain a top institutional priority to ensure that funds are used for the purposes intended and best fulfill the Bank’s poverty reduction mandate.
