Anti-Corruption Policies in Asia and the Pacific:The Legal and Institutional Frameworks for Fighting Corruption in Twenty-one Asian and Pacific Countries
Asian Development Bank | June 2004
Abstract
As the harmful effects of corruption on economic development, political stability and social welfare today are apparent throughout the world, combating corruption enjoys high priority among governments and societies throughout the Asia-Pacific region. To strengthen regional cooperation in this endeavor, 23 countries have joined the Asian Development Bank (ADB)/ Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Anti- Corruption Initiative for Asia and the Pacific. While the Initiative’s Action Plan has since triggered a broad range of legal and institutional anti-corruption reforms in participating countries, the battle against corruption is far from being won.
