War over Corruption Indexes

“We have perception indicators, mainly because of Transparency International, but this is a feeling or impression of corruption. I want to measure corruption, I don’t want to measure shadows. I want to measure objects.”

- Antonio Costa, the executive director of the UN’s office on drugs and crime

He was talking at the Fifth Global Forum on Fighting Corruption and Safeguarding Integrity in South Africa- some of the important presentations linked below.
