Reducing the harmful impact on society
We explore how to address corruption in different contexts.
The U4 Anti-Corruption Resource Centre at CMI has been in continual operation since 2002. At U4, we study the causes and pathways of corruption, document its effects on development outcomes, and identify and support efforts to address it. Through research, online courses, workshops, blogs, and a helpdesk, we pursue emerging topics and advance the anti-corruption field together with global research networks and practitioners.
Current focus:
- Civil society and people's engagement
- Climate change, natural resources and energy
- Corruption risk management and integrity
- Development cooperation
- Gender
- Health
- Human rights
- Illicit financial flows
- Justice sector
- Evaluation and measurement
- Money politics
- Politics of anti-corruption
- Private sector
