Hasty marriage or open-ended courtship: What do anti-corruption & peacebuilding communities need?
Two friends, Lara Olson and Cheyanne Scharbatke-Church, debate the obstacles to a stronger union between peacebuilding and anti-corruption.
Corruption, Justice and Legitimacy (CJL) is a research-to-practice initiative committed to improving the effectiveness of anti-corruption programming in contexts of endemic corruption. We engage with practitioners, policymakers and academics across sectors and regions with the goal of unlocking the barriers to effective and durable development caused by corrupt patterns of behavior.
The Social Norms and Corruption Project aims to shift social norms from the periphery to a central component of corruption analysis and anti-corruption strategy.
The Corruption as a System Project offers technical assistance to implementers and donors as they integrate corruption analysis into their program development or evaluation process.
The Corruption and Peacebuilding project seeks to incorporate anti-corruption into peacebuilding programs and vice versa, ultimately leveraging these approaches for greater effectiveness.
