International Indicators are based on perceptions of private sector, and opinions of international experts. However, they do not factor the opinion of citizens of the country.

Corruption Crime Survey gives a good idea about the ministry and sector-wise spread of ‘registered’ corruption crimes. However, all corruption crimes are not registered.

Thus, a need was felt to assess the ‘perceptions’ and ‘experience’ of citizens regarding corruption and service delivery.

To diagnose the form, manifestation and magnitude of corruption and poor service delivery in Yemen that would contribute towards the formulation of the National Anticorruption Strategy.

To develop a baseline and benchmarks against which the performance achieved in the fight against corruption and improving service delivery in future can be measured.

Over to Edouard for sharing the Results of Survey!
