Designing effective anti-corruption interventions by gauging the role of formal legal frameworks in network-based governance systems In our research to date we mapped and analysed the dynamics, functionality, and ubiquity of network based governance systems predicated on informal practices in East Africa and post-Soviet Eurasia, demonstrating the presence of common features and patterns. In the second phase we propose to adopt a specifically sociolegal perspective and approach to analyse the interface and interdependence of network and formal governance in the same seven countries and to develop a diagnostic for assessing the viability of anti-corruption reforms. We will undertake a review of specific anti-corruption reforms (legislation, regulations, institutional charters etc) introduced in the last three years as well as broader background legal-constitutional reforms: a study of all relevant legal provisions, travaux preparatoires, decisions, statistics and reports, supplemented by interviews with legislators, drafters, justice system and administrative personnel, other legal professionals, civil society and donor representatives. We will also identify successful network-based rather than formal anti-corruption efforts.
Fighting high-level corruption in Africa: Learning from effective law enforcement The project is the first systematic and comparative study of law enforcement efforts targeting high-level (grand) corruption in Africa. It aims at identifying both enabling and constraining factors for effective law enforcement. The focus on the specifics of enforcement practice is new and promises to generate evidence that has been missing in anti-corruption research. The project will compare investigations, prosecutions and civil litigation in three Tier 1 countries: Nigeria, Tanzania and Malawi, where high-level corruption is rife but has been targeted by the authorities. The project will examine the various investigative and legal tools available in criminal proceedings but also innovative legal strategies, such as asset recovery and civil litigation. Particular attention will be paid to the international connections of the high-level corruption scandals under investigation. The research findings will be fed directly into policymaking and law enforcement in the three countries.
Identifying and deterring the theft and diversion of medicinal drugs in Malawi Drug theft is one of the most common and lucrative forms of public corruption within the health sector of many developing countries. In addition to the growth-inhibiting and poverty-inducing effects that accompany corruption, drug theft slows the fight against preventable diseases like malaria and bacterial infection. In collaboration with the Drug Theft Investigations Unit at the Malawi Ministry of Health, we will experimentally evaluate whether top-down audits and bottom-up community monitoring can reduce drug theft. Additionally, we introduce a novel measurement protocol that uses radio and GPS tracking devices to measure rates of theft at different levels of the medications supply chain. This allows us to move beyond existing studies of corruption that focus on changes in corruption levels to present evidence demonstrating how anti- corruption interventions displace corruption to other parts of the system. Our project directly builds on existing anti-corruption priorities among development stakeholders in Malawi.
Civil service reform and anti-corruption: Does ethics training reduce corruption in the civil service? Which civil service management practices are effective in reducing bureaucratic corruption? The "Civil Service Reform and Anti-Corruption" Project has shed light on this question through a survey of 23,000 civil servants in ten countries. Its findings show, among others, that one common management practice “ethics training“ does not correlate with lower corruption or more ethical behaviour of civil servants. In response, several governments have asked for guidance on how to design effective ethics training, and evidence on its effects. The extension will provide such evidence. It will survey corruption and (un)ethical behaviour of 1,200 civil servants in Nepal and Bangladesh over time, while providing them with a semester-long state-of-the-art ethics training in a field experiment (RCT). The extension will thus build on the project's survey findings on ethics training to provide more rigorous and detailed evidence on whether such training works and how to design it.
Practical interventions for uncovering and identifying beneficial ownership as a mechanism to recover the proceeds of corruption: A Nigerian case study Corruption is a major inhibitor to economic growth, discouraging to domestic and foreign investment and destabilising of governments. Unsurprisingly, international attention has intensified in recent years with global initiatives to counter corruption and money laundering. These have placed requirements upon national governments to increase transparency, reducing opportunities for the legitimate legal and financial infrastructure to be used to disguise and move the proceeds of corruption. Using Nigeria as our case study, this cross-disciplinary and mixed methods research aims to understand current processes and highlight system weaknesses for successfully identifying beneficial ownership of funds. By creating a simpler, re-balanced and importantly cost effective solution, we aim to contribute to the prevention of laundering of the proceeds of corruption and to their recovery. An assessment of what works in Nigeria as a means to prevent corruption will provide valuable empirical evidence of what may be transferable to other developing countries.
Curbing corruption in procurement Previously, we used an innovative Big Data methodology to objectively proxy corruption risk and use our novel data to assess how donor control mechanisms and recipient country sociopolitical contexts affect corruption risks in aid spending. We propose to dig deeper into the impact of changes in sociopolitical contexts by focusing on recipient-country regulatory frameworks and their interactions with donor regulations. Moreover, we would extend the analysis to include displacement effects, i.e., whether improving controls in one area prompts corrupt actors to shift corruption to other areas with weaker controls. This more complete analysis of donor-recipient country interactions relies on collecting national public procurement data additionally in 10-12 countries and combining them with the already collected donor tender and project data. Furthermore, we would complement our quantitative analysis with in-depth qualitative research in four countries, and ensure maximum impact by conducting workshops to train local stakeholders in our method and software.
Centralised vs decentralised monitoring to reduce corruption: Insights from comparisons across Indian states In this project we will investigate the effectiveness of centralised monitoring (top down audits) vs decentralised monitoring (social audits) based on a comparative study of Indian states in the delivery of public services. Our project has several objectives. First, we will build a comprehensive dataset on corruption, audits and social accountability that will help researchers working on corruption across the world. Second, we will develop measures of corruption. Third, using the dataset and the measure of corruption we will answer several pressing questions, like (a) do social accountability initiatives work better in states where citizen awareness is high and in programmes which have personal rather than collective benefits for citizens, (b) when top down audits are used, how does the design of audits affect the program's success, and (c) the design of optimal auditing mechanisms.
Rewarding good governance through community recognition We theorize that fostering collective pride in good governance and providing positive recognition for local leaders who forego corruption will decrease corruption in a national park revenue-sharing program in western Uganda. We propose a randomized field experiment and linked ethnographic field study to test whether offering community recognition for the successful planning and implementation of revenue-sharing projects, along with associated radio announcements and public ceremonies that praise good governance, will result in more equitable planning and better delivery of revenue-sharing projects. Our study thus departs from the dominant lines of research on corruption that focus on detection and punishment and instead asks how civic expectations can be realigned to counteract corruption. We compare outcomes in villages that receive positive recognition and/or are made experimentally eligible for positive recognition to those villages that do not receive or have eligibility for recognition.
Crisis Responses and Corruption in Vulnerable Sectors The research aims to assess the corruption risks that arise in the use of emergency powers; in relation to emergency procurement; in and development financing during emergencies. The research will highlight the gaps in our understanding of these issues and determine what future research ought to consider to make actions taken during emergencies less vulnerable to fraud and corruption. The research adopts a framework for analysis that examines the regulatory and policy landscape and practices, focusing on four dimensions: people, processes, challenges, and interventions. The five selected countries for this research study are: the United States, the United Kingdom, Hungary, South Africa, and Nigeria; along with the World Bank as a donor.
Testing and evidencing the effectiveness of beneficial ownership checks: Investigating the laundering of monies and reputations by African and Central Asian elites The project will assess the effectiveness of the international Anti-Money Laundering regime with respect to banking, real estate purchases, and charitable investments via anonymous shell companies. It builds on earlier research by the team and our extensive links to global civil society, international organizations and regulators including in Africa and Central Asia. In particular, it will focus on laundering by elites of six to-be-determined Central Asian and African states (e.g. Nigeria, Malawi, Kenya, Mozambique, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan). Methodologically, it will combine a field experiment of banking, the building of a database of overseas real estate purchases, and qualitative case studies of international reputation laundering via charitable foundations. The project is both a theory-testing and data gathering exercise which will provide agenda-setting evidence of the (in)effectiveness of beneficial ownership checks in banking, create a database of international real estate purchases via unexplained wealth, and assess due diligence by international institutions and charities.
Strengthening Legislative Oversight The new project development objective is to modernize the business processes followed by the financial oversight committees of the Parliament of Bangladesh.
Strengthening Auditor General's Ofice Change in Project's Development ObjectivesTo reflect the revised scope of activities, the proposed PDO are:to: (i)  strengthen the quality, scope and follow up of audits and (ii) create a cadre of internationally accredited professionals in OCAG
Multi Donor Trust Fund for the Strengthening Public Expenditure Management Program (SPEMP) The MDTF supports an umbrella PFM program built around three key  priority areas: i) budget planning, preparation and execution, (ii)  external auditing, and iii) legislative and public oversight. The MDTF  can finance several projects that fall within these three key areas in  a sequenced and prioritized manner.
 The first objective of the MDTF is to strengthen and modernize core  institutions for budget management within the government with  particular emphasis on introducing a performance orientation in PFM.  The TF aids the Government of Bangladesh in implementing their "Public  Financial Management Reform Strategy - Vision and Medium-Term Rolling  Action Plan, 2007-2012". This TF will help to strengthen the strategic  focus of budgeting and establish a comprehensive accounting and  treasury management system.
 
 The second objective is to enhance the demand side interventions for  better budget outcomes by improving the effectiveness of formal  institutions of financial accountability through strengthening the  capacity of the Comptroller & Auditor General (C&AG) for higher  quality audits, and strengthening legislative oversight through a  better functioning of the parliamentary committees that deal with  allocation and monitoring of government resources.
Deepening MTBF and Strengthening Financial Accountability The project aims to deepen and institutionalize the MTBF and build a more strategic and performance oriented budget management process, while strengthening financial accountability across the expenditure management cycle. The project supports fundamental reforms of operational budget management functions in both central units and line ministries. Enhanced budget process and financial accountability is likely to improve the allocative and operational efficiency in public expenditure management which in turn will enable better provision of key public services in support of the Government's social and economic policy objectives.
Skilling Youth for Sustainable Livelihoods in Refugee Hosting Communities, Uganda This project will increase employment opportunities for marginalised (including refugee) youth in Agago and Lamwo Districts, N Uganda. We will directly reach 800 youth (50% female; 5% PWD; 35% refugees), 4800 dependants indirectly and 50,000 youth will benefit from awareness. Expected change: 800 youth demonstrating market-relevant technical and employability skills, 70% earning an income, youth have improved representation and engagement in public and private sectors in 2 years.
