This report is intended to help policy makers, law enforcement officials and stakeholders strengthen prevention efforts at both the public and private levels, through improved understanding and enhanced awareness of corruption risk and mechanisms.

The report also offers options to put a cost on corruption to make it less attractive at both the public and private levels.
