Stronger involvement of the non-governmental sector can improve the quality of strategies and increase trust in government.Ī majority of countries adopted a single strategy approach, while six do not have strategic frameworks for reducing corruption in place at all (Figure 2). Yet, only half of the countries have ensured that integrity strategies went through standard public and intergovernmental consultation and included non-state actors in working groups to develop or amend integrity strategies.

Development of integrity and anti-corruption strategies should be transparent and inclusive.

Moreover, half of the countries do not track the implementation rate at all. The average implementation rate of planned activities of 55% means that almost a half of the planned activities were not yet carried out. However, such comprehensive action plans and monitoring reports based on reliable sources and pre-established indicators are often missing. Our analysis shows that high-quality strategies correlate with the existence of comprehensive action plans and ex-ante analysis of corruption risks.

In countries that do set strategic objectives to curb corruption, implementation is surprisingly weak.

In many countries, high-level strategic objectives addressing such forms of corruption are missing.

One of the central ambitions of the OECD Council Recommendation on Public Integrity – a whole-of-society approach to curbing the most serious and detrimental forms of corruption such as undue influence, political and grand corruption – has not yet been translated into concrete policy objectives.

The dataset covers 32 OECD countries and four non-OECD countries 2and shows that: Source: OECD, Public Integrity Indicators. Structure of Strategic Framework for Public Integrity indicator The first data set measures the quality of the strategies for public integrity and anti-corruption (Figure 1) and is described in detail in our recently published working paper Anti-corruption and public integrity strategies – Insights from new OECD indicators ( Smidova, Z., A. 1 The OECD Public Integrity Indicators were developed to monitor progress made in the implementation of the Council Recommendation. The experience of OECD countries shows that addressing corruption requires a comprehensive policy approach, which in 2017 led to the adoption of the Council Recommendation on Public Integrity. Analysts, national administration and international organisations can now explore these data that adhere to OECD standards for statistical quality. It brings interesting insights on how countries are prioritising efforts to address corruption and documents the need to focus more on implementation.

The first data set for 36 countries – on quality of the anti-corruption strategy or strategic framework – has already proven useful for decision makers in strengthening their policy frameworks. The indicators unpack the general notion of corruption into specific integrity risks and measure the strength of regulations, institutions and practices. OECD’s new Public Integrity Indicators offer a credible alternative to existing corruption-related indices, drawing directly on data from member countries instead of expert views. Mangles on hearing of Georgiana's death.By Zuzana Smidova, Agnès Cavaciuti, OECD Economics Department, and Jesper Johnsøn, OECD Public Governance Directorate "Not one in ten thousand who go out into distant lands has done what she did for the Gardens of her Native Country, and we have indeed as regards her specially to lament, that 'From Life's rosy Chaplet, the Gems drop away'." She has been the subject of research into how records and family history documents obfuscate the telling of those events. Her brilliance was shrouded by the misdeeds of her husband, John, who was involved in the Wonnerup massacre. One of her enduring legacies is her study and identification of much of the unique local Western Australian flora. But she was a woman who was never defeated by circumstance and never ceased to find enjoyment and satisfaction in her life. A pioneer of great courage and capacity, Georgiana was presented with seemingly overwhelming trials and hardships. The young bride and her husband, Captain John Molloy, were among a small party that founded the settlement of Augusta on Western Australia’s south-west coast. In 1829, Georgiana Molloy moved from the middle-class comfort of the English border country to an isolated wilderness on the opposite side of the world. She was known for her detailed botanical descriptions. She collected and despatched seeds of local native plants to James Mangles FRS who passed them to collectors in the UK. She was self-taught and became the first internationally successful female botanist in WA.

Georgiana Molloy was an early settler in Western Australia, who is remembered as one of the first botanical collectors in the colony.
