Development assistance supports millions who struggle daily to survive. In 2006, donor countries gave almost US $104 billion in official development assistance to lower-income countries, a figure set to rise to US $130 billion by 2010. Ensuring that this aid is not diverted through corruption is the purpose of the Transparency International Discussion Paper on Poverty, Aid and Corruption.
The paper offers recommendations on how to make the most efficient use of development resources in anti-poverty programmes, and detailed recommendations for supporting recipient governments’ anti-corruption efforts and for tackling the supply-side of corruption.
