New Tools for Assessing Sectoral Corruption & Integrity

www.irisprojects.umd.edu/anticorruption

With funding from USAID’s Enhancing USAID Anti-Corruption Programming in the Europe and Eurasia Region project, IRIS has developed a set of state-of-the-art anti-corruption assessment tools tailored to the specific needs of those who design, implement, and evaluate anti-corruption activities in the Europe and Eurasia region — particularly USAID Missions, implementing partners, and counterparts.

These micro-analytic tools are designed to complement existing macro surveys and indices. The tools have been tested in four countries, generating a set of lessons learned for anti-corruption programmers throughout the region.
