A chance for good governance


Accountability, transparency and the fight against corruption are high on the policy agendas across the Middle East and North Africa. To help benchmark progress and identify areas of concern, Transparency International (TI) conducted independent assessments of the National Integrity Systems – the pillars of society that shape how a country is governed – in Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco and Palestine.

These pillars include the judiciary, the executive, anti-corruption agencies, the public and private sector, as well as civil society. Where these institutions are weak, poor governance and corruption risks compromise development, economic growth and social cohesion.
