Anti-Corruption
Written By Matt Baker

Source: USAID | Year: 2023

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded anti-corruption (AC) programs implemented during the 2019 Novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. In particular, the study explores the degree to which USAID-funded programs adapted to corruption risks that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic and the effectiveness of these adaptations in achieving their objectives. The study uses these findings as the basis for recommendations on how USAID might adapt its AC programming during the next pandemic or comparable crisis.

The evaluation questions that guide this study are as follows:

  • To what extent were USAID’s existing and new AC projects and components of other sectoral activities responsive to pandemic-enabled corruption and its evolving risks in-country?

  • Which AC projects and components of other sectoral activities were most effective at addressing COVID-19-enabled corruption?

  • How well were USAID’s AC projects and components of other sectoral activities coordinated across internal and external stakeholders?
