Refresher: Why a sectoral approach?
The sectoral emphasis stems from the realization that substandard management and governance – exemplified by inadequate transparency and accountability on the part of national and local governments and service providers – is a major bottleneck in achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In this regard, a sectoral approach to fighting corruption has several advantages.
Sector-based work thus promotes transparency, accountability, and institutional integrity, and ultimately has a positive cumulative impact on corruption prevention.
