The fight against corruption includes perceptions of the extent to which State power is used for personal gain. This includes both minor and major cases of corruption, as well as the influence of elites and private interests on public affairs.
In recent years, several countries, including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, China, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Ukraine and Vietnam, have made significant progress in the fight against corruption. Countries such as Brazil, Iran, Lebanon, Mexico, Syria, Turkey, Venezuela and North Korea are struggling to effectively combat corruption.
The fight against corruption is closely linked to other global indicators of public administration, including government effectiveness, rule of law, quality of regulation, voting rights and accountability, as well as political stability.
The World Governance Indicators (WGI) collects data reflecting perceptions of the quality of governance from a variety of sources, including surveys of businesses, citizens and experts in both industrialized and developing countries. These surveys are conducted by various institutions, including research institutes, think tanks, non-governmental organizations, international organizations and private sector organizations.
