CORRUPTION gets a lot of headlines, and the plan explicitly aims to address the problem. It undermines good governance, which is required for the plan to be implemented. It needs sound institutions and the effective operation of government.

The plan demands an anti-corruption system that makes public servants accountable, protects whistle-blowers and closely monitors procurement. Efforts to eradicate corruption must include the private sector and individuals by increasing public awareness and improving access to information.

Part of the solution is a strategy to strengthen the independence of the judiciary by improving the quality of judges and scaling up judicial training.
