Transparency International Global Corruption Barometer 2010
GLOBAL CORRUPTIONBAROMETER2010
Transparency Internationals Global Corruption Barometer (the Barometer) is the largestcross-country survey to collect the general publics views on and experiences o corruption.In 2010 the Barometer interviewed more than 91,500 people in 86 countries, making it themost comprehensive edition since it was launched in 2003. The Barometer explores thegeneral publics views about corruption levels in their country and their governments e ortsto ght corruption. The 2010 Barometer also probes the requency o bribery, reasons orpaying a bribe in the past year, and attitudes towards reporting incidents o corruption.
The Barometer complements the views o country analysts and businesspeople represented in Transparency Internationals Corruption Perceptions Index 1 and Bribe Payers Index 2, gatheringthe general publics perceptions about how key institutions are a ected by corruption. The2010 Barometer also explores whom people trust the most to ght corruption in their countries.
The questions in the Barometer vary rom year to year. As a result, time comparisons arelimited to questions that have been included in two or more editions. A general approach tocomparisons over time or the 2010 Barometer is to compare this years ndings with thoseearliest available or that question. In all cases, the years compared are indicated in the tableor graphic accompanying the analysis o changes over time.
Public views on corruption are o critical importance. They o er signi cant insight into howcorruption a ects lives around the world. Transparency International believes it is critical topresent the general publics perspective on corruption or it is they who su er its directand indirect consequences around the world. At the same time, Transparency Internationalencourages the public to play an active role in stopping corruption and improving governance.
To this end, this years edition o the Barometer probes or the rst time public willingness toengage with the ght against corruption.
Now in its seventh edition, the Barometer o ers a unique opportunity to explore how peoplesperceptions o corruption and encounters with bribery have changed over time in a number o countries. 3
FINDINGS: Corruption levels around the world are seen as
increasing over the past three years- Almost six out o 10 report that corruption levelsin their country have increased over time- The biggest increase is perceived by respondentsin North America and EU+ 4
Political parties are identi ed as the most corruptinstitution around the world- Eight out o 10 judge political parties as corruptor extremely corrupt, ollowed by the civil service,the judiciary, parliaments and the police- Over time, public opinion about political parties hasdeteriorated, while opinions o the judiciary have improved
Experience of petty bribery is widespread and has
remained unchanged as compared to 2006- The police is identi ed as the most requentrecipient o bribes in the past 12 months. The policealso has the biggest increase in bribery incidents overtime, according to the general public surveyed- In eight out o nine services assessed, people inlower income brackets are more likely to pay bribesthan people in higher income brackets- The reason most o ten given or paying a bribeis to avoid a problem with the authorities
Government action to ght corruption is often seenas ine ective- Across the world, one in two considers theirgovernments actions to be ine ective to stop corruption- While global views have not changed over time,opinions about government e orts have deterioratedin Asia Paci c, Latin America and Sub-Saharan A rica,but improved in the Newly Independent States+ andNorth America
There is little trust in formal institutions to ght corruption
- One in our worldwide does not trust any particularinstitution most o all to ght corruption- Nearly one in our trusts the media or governmentthe most to stop corruption
There is signi cant belief that the public has a role tostop corruption and a willingness or action inreporting on corruption when it occurs- Seven out o 10 respondents think ordinarypeople can make a di erence in the ght againstcorruption, while hal could imagine themselvesgetting involved- People are willing to report corruption to theauthorities: seven out o 10 respondents reportedthey would denounce an incident. This willingnessto report a case o corruption is more pronouncedin the Americas and EU+.

1. THE VIEW AROUNDTHE WORLD:CORRUPTION HASINCREASED IN THEPAST THREE YEARSLevels o corruption have increased in the past threeyears, according to those interviewed in the 2010Barometer. Slightly more than hal o the respondentsconsidered that corruption has increased; where as orthree out o 10, levels have remained unchanged in thepast three years. Only one out o every seven peoplethinks that corruption levels have decreased in the
past three years. Women were more likely than men toperceive an increase in corruption levels over the pastthree years, (60 per cent v. 52 per cent), see detailed
ndings in Appendix D.
There are regional di erences in the perceptions o changes in corruption levels. While more than two-thirdso respondents in the EU+ and North America saw anincrease in corruption over the last three years, this
gure dropped to less than hal in Asia Paci c and NIS+(Figure 1). However, even in these two regions, aboutthree times as many respondents report an increase thanreport a decrease in corruption (see Table 1 in Appendix C).

BALANCINGTHE BUDGET
A vast number o Palestinians in the West Bank livein abject poverty. Many lack access to health andeducation acilities, and countless buildings, roads andsewage systems are in urgent need o repair. Instanceso government o cials misusing public unds have uelledcalls or the Palestinian Authority to introduce tightercontrols on public sector spending.
Through its work with the public, TransparencyInternational Palestine (AMAN) received a number o
complaints about the use o government cars. In 2009,more than 6,000 civil servants owned one, and 18million was being spent on their uel, maintenance andlicensing. Many o the cars were requently used orprivate journeys, or by riends and relatives. Some werereportedly even being sent abroad.
AMAN took its ndings to the Ministry o Transport. TheMinistry admitted that it was aware o the problem, butlacked the resources to tackle it. So AMAN undertook toassist them. It launched a broad-based media campaigncomprising radio, billboard and newspaper advertisements,encouraging citizens to phone in incidents o publicvehicle misuse via AMANs ree hotline.
The initiative was a huge success. Within a short spaceo time AMAN logged more than 150 complaints, whichwere relayed back to the Ministry o Transport or urtherinvestigation. Knowing that this was unlikely to bringabout lasting change, however, AMAN called on PrimeMinister Salam Fayyad to address the issue moresystematically.
Consequently, Palestines Council o Ministers (PNA)declared a ban on the use o all government vehiclesoutside o ce hours, with the exception o the Prime Ministerand his deputy. In 2010 around 6,200 vehicles werereclaimed rom civil servants. Some o them were givento the government ministries or shared use, but the majoritycould be purchased by civil servants to use privately.
AMAN realises that this is only one step towards re orm,and a lot o work remains to be done to bring integrityand transparency to government spending.
Transparency International provides ree advice and legal support tovictims and witnesses o corruption in more than 40 countries aroundthe world. In 2009 alone, more than 20,000 people sought help.

1.1 THE SECTOROR INSTITUTIONMOST AFFECTEDBY CORRUPTION:POLITICAL PARTIES
The 2010 Barometer asked respondents or their viewson the extent to which they believe 11 key sectors andinstitutions in their country are a ected by corruption.
The list includes the civil service 5, the education system,the judiciary, the media, the military, non-governmentalorganisations, the parliament, the police, political parties,the private sector and religious bodies.
Globally, political parties are judged most a ected bycorruption: almost 80 per cent o all respondents thinkthey are either corrupt or extremely corrupt. They aretrailed by a second grouping, including public servants,parliaments and the police. A third group o institutions ismade up o the private sector, religious bodies, the judiciary,media and the education system. Respondents worldwideconsider the military and non-governmental organisationsleast a ected by corruption, although 30 per cent stillconsidered them corrupt or extremely corrupt.

Figure 3 shows that peoples perceptions about howcorruption a ects key sectors or organisations havenot changed much over time. In both 2004 and 2010,the lists are topped by political parties, with non-governmental organisations and the military allingat the bottom. Nonetheless, religious bodies andpolitical parties have witnessed the biggest increasein perceived corruption over time. Perceptions aboutnon-governmental organisations and the private sector,however, have also deteriorated. Worth noting is thatpublic opinion about the judiciary has improved: thoseviewing it as corrupt or extremely corrupt decreased by10 percentage points.

% OF RESPONDENTSWHO REPORTPAYING A BRIBETO ANY OF NINEDIFFERENT SERVICEPROVIDERS IN THEPAST 12 MONTHS
As in the past, the 2010 Barometer shows that youngerpeople are more likely to pay bribes than older people.
Thirty- ve per cent o those who report paying a bribein the past year are under 30 years old, while 21 percent aged 65 or more report a similar incident (Table2). The 2010 Barometer did not nd substantial genderdi erences in the reporting o petty corruption, which isa change over previous editions, where women were lesslikely to report paying bribes (Appendix D).

Regional di erences do emerge. The 2010 Barometeround that people interviewed in Asia Paci c and Latin
America report paying more bribes when in contact withthe judiciary. Sub-Saharan A ricans report the highestlevel o bribes to registry & permit services - nearly onpar with the police. The public in EU+ countries indicatesthat customs is the most bribery-prone service, while inNorth America it is land services, although in both regionsoverall reported bribery rates remain low (Table 3).

2.2 REGRESSIVENESSOF PETTY BRIBERY
The 2010 Barometer shows again that poorer peoplearound the globe are more requently penalised bybribery. In eight out o nine services, users whose statedincome corresponds to low income quintiles pay bribesmore requently than those stating higher income levels.
The biggest disparities exist in interactions with customsand registry & permits services, where respondents withlower income report more numerous incidents o bribery(Figure 5).

2.3 NO REDUCTION INPETTY BRIBERY LEVELSIN THE LAST FIVE YEARS
The 2010 Barometer allows us to explore howexperiences with petty bribery have changed over time.Findings are discouraging: globally, users o seven basicservices report paying similar levels o bribes to ve yearsago. However, when examined at the institution/servicelevel, even more concerning results emerge: there aresubstantially more reported bribes to the judiciary, thepolice and registry & permit services than previously.

2.4 WHY PAY BRIBES?TO AVOID PROBLEMSWITH THE AUTHORITIES,MOST PEOPLE SAY
To understand peoples experiences with bribery ingreater depth, the 2010 Barometer explores why bribesare paid. Speci cally, it asks respondents to indicate thereason or the last bribe paid, based on a list provided tothem. Nearly hal o all respondents report that the lastbribe was paid to avoid a problem with the authorities.
Almost one quarter o respondents cited speedingthings up as the reason or the bribe, ollowed by toreceive a service they were entitled to (Table 4).
These aggregate results mask regional di erences. In Asia Paci c, the most reported reason is to receive aservice the respondent was entitled to, while in Sub-Saharan A rica it is to avoid a problem with authorities.In the Middle East & North A rica, and Latin America,the reason most reported is to speed things up.

3. PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS AND EXPERIENCESOF CORRUPTION
ALIGN WITH EXPERT ASSESSMENTS The Barometer 2010 allows us to explore thealignment o general public and expert views oncorruption. Transparency Internationals CorruptionPerceptions Index (CPI) measures the degree to whichpublic sector corruption is perceived to exist in countriesaround the world. 12 The most recent edition, the 2010CPI, rated 178 countries around the world on a scale
rom 10 (very clean) to 0 (highly corrupt). In contrastto the Global Corruption Barometer , which refectspublic opinion, the CPI refects the views o experts andbusinesspeople.
As Figure 8 shows, perceptions o the general public 13 captured in the 2010 Barometer and perceptions o experts in the 2010 CPI align. 14 This means that, onaverage, in those countries where businesspeople,country analysts and experts perceive corruption to bewidespread, the general public also perceives corruptionto be widespread.
Figure 8 General public perceptions o corruptionin the 2010 Barometer compared toexpert perceptions o corruption in the2010 Corruption Perceptions IndexSource: Transparency International Global CorruptionBarometer 2010 and Corruption Perceptions Index 2010. Each dot represents a country.
There are countries and territories where the twoperspectives di er. In Australia, Canada, Chile, HongKong, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, the United Kingdomand the United States, experts and country analysts havea more positive image than the general public, who viewthe countrys corruption levels as higher.
On the contrary, in A ghanistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iraq,Morocco and Vietnam, the general public does not perceivecorruption to be as widespread as the experts perceive it to be.
Given the hidden nature o corruption, perceptions havebeen deemed by academics as a sound proxy or actualcorruption levels. The Barometer allows us to explore thisrelationship, by analysing whether peoples experienceswith petty bribery 15 and experts perceptions as refectedin the CPI align. The CPI rates countries on a scale
rom 10 (very clean) to 0 (highly corrupt). Results showthat experiences and perceptions are closely related. 16 In other words, those countries assessed by expertsas being a ected by public sector corruption are thesame countries where a higher proportion o Barometerrespondents report having to pay a bribe in the past 12months (Figure 9).

GOLD MINERwandas economy was gradually recovering rom thedevastating impact o years o civil confict when one miningcooperative discovered it had lost more than it thought.
In 2008 a change in Rwandan law meant the cooperativehad to renew its certi cate. This task ell to the groupspresident, who was an infuential member o the community.
Yet members o the cooperative claim that the presidentorged the ownership documents and re-registered
the mine under his own name. They appealed to localleaders, but the leaders sided with the president.
The cooperative then wrote to Rwandas Public Prosecutor Authority to request an investigation. When monthspassed by without a response, they turned to TransparencyInternational (TI) Rwanda, who dra ted an appeal orexpedience and orwarded it to the prosecutor general.
As a result, the case came to court, and in a stunningvictory the cooperatives president was sentenced to10 years in jail, and ned the equivalent o around US$3,400. Ownership o the mine was returned to thegroup, who are now working to increase its output orthe bene t o the community.
TI Rwanda has since been approached with three morecases related to mine exploitation; encouraging evidencethat demand or accountability is growing.
Transparency International provides ree advice and legal support tovictims and witnesses o corruption in more than 40 countries aroundthe world. In 2009 alone, more than 20,000 people sought help.

For the rst time, the 2010 Barometer asked the generalpublic whom they trust the most to stop corruptionin their countries. Results show that, inso ar as anyone institution is trusted, the most trusted actor is themedia. Almost as many people trust their governmentsmost o all to curb corruption. However, a ull quarter o those asked report that they do not trust any institutionin this regard. Around one in every 10 respondentswould put their greatest trust in the private sector, innon-governmental organisations 17 or in internationalinstitutions (eg. UN, World Bank, International MonetaryFund) respectively (Figure 12).

Figure 13 explores the relationship between views o government anti-corruption e orts and public trust ininstitutions. It is not surprising that those who deem theirgovernment actions as e ective also place their trust inthem. On the contrary, those who think their governmentis not doing a good job in ghting corruption are moreinclined not to trust anyone to stop corruption in their country.

DRASTIC MEASURES At the age o 84, Alma* set about writing her will. Sheowned a plot o land that had been in her amily ordecades, and intended to leave it to her daughter. Onchecking the deeds, however, it transpired that sixsquare metres o her property o cially belonged tosomeone else. Alma went to court to claim ownershipo the plot in its entirety, and was granted it. On checkingover the documentation, however, Alma noticed asigni cant misprint. Instead o the six square metres inquestion, the court had adjudicated upon six squarecentimetres.
Alma promptly returned to court to have the rulingoverturned, but was re used. She spent the next year inand out o various courts, all the way to KazakhstansSupreme Court. But to no avail. At which point Almacontacted Transparency International (TI) Kazakhstan.
TI Kazakhstan contacted the judges who had beeninvolved in Almas case, but, bizarrely, each onemaintained that the ruling could not be reversed. So TIlawyers turned to the media instead. The case receivedbroad coverage in the press and on national television,prompting court o cials to renege on their initial ruling.
Almas deeds were amended, and she was nally able tocomplete her will.
Almas case illustrates some o the shortcomings o Kazakhstans judicial system with great clarity. A systemthat repeatedly denies an elderly lady what is right ullyhers is in urgent need o re orm.

5. PEOPLE AREWILLING TO ENGAGEIN THE FIGHT AGAINSTCORRUPTION
The 2010 Barometer examines the general publicswillingness to get involved in the ght against corruption.
Almost seven out o every 10 respondents think thatthe general public can make a di erence in the ghtagainst corruption and would de nitely support a riendwho wants to engage in the cause. When asked abouttheir own personal involvement, willingness is somewhatreduced: hal report that they could imagine themselvesgetting personally involved in the anti-corruption cause. A
higher proportion o men to women indicated they wouldbecome involved in the ght against corruption (54 percent v. 45 per cent) (Appendix D).
There are regional di erences in terms o willingness topersonally engage. The willingness to engage personallyis the lowest in Asia Paci c (31 per cent). NIS+ is alsorather low in this regard (53 per cent) (Figure 14).

Experience o bribery adversely a ects peoples belie that they can make a di erence. While almost eightout o 10 people who did not experience an incidento bribery think that the general public can make adi erence in curbing corruption, less than seven out o 10 who experienced bribery think the same. Moreover,while almost seven out o 10 o those who did not paya bribe imagine themselves getting involved in the ghtagainst corruption, slightly more than ve out o 10

The 2010 Barometer asks respondents whether theywould report an incident o corruption. Seven out o 10agree that they would do so, indicating a widespread
willingness to play a part in stopping corruption. Severaldi erences emerge when this nding is exploredat the regional level. In the Americas and EU+, theoverwhelming majority (nine out o 10 interviewees)would report an incident o corruption, but in the NewlyIndependent States+ only about hal o all those askedwould report (Table 6).

Those who report paying bribes in the past year wereless likely to indicate they would report an incident o corruption. This suggests that bribe paying is related tolower motivation by individuals to engage and less trustin the institutional procedures that are in place toaddress corruption (Figure 16).

CONCLUSIONS The Global Corruption Barometer is a unique toolthat provides a use ul window into peoples views o corruption and experiences with bribery around theworld. By exploring corruption and bribery among thegeneral public, it creates a better knowledge base onhow corruption permeates society and to what extentthere is support within society or stronger anti-corruptione orts. The Barometer provides an overview o thesectors the public deems most a ected by corruptionand provides a bottom up assessment o how leadersaround the world are doing in the ght against corruption.
Most people interviewed in the 2010 Barometer perceivean increase in corruption levels in their countries over thepast three years. This sends a clear message to leadersaround the world that the public believes that corruption
continues to plague societies everywhere.Perceptions are matched by peoples experiences: the2010 Barometer nds that levels o petty bribery aroundthe world have not improved when compared with thosein 2006, with about one in our people having paid abribe in the past year.
Much more must be done to guarantee that access tobasic services, rom health to utilities to education, isnot endangered by corruption. Those institutions thatare supposed to prevent corruption and en orce the law,such as the police and judiciary, must unction well oreveryone in society, untainted by the corruption that isstill evident in so many corners o the world.
In most countries, the general public continues toview political parties as the institution most a ected bycorruption. These perceptions not only refect a negativeimage o political parties that the public has reportedover time in the Barometer, but also pose a risk o undermining the basic role o parties in the democraticprocess.
While government e orts to ght corruption are thoughtine ective by hal the public worldwide, almost one inevery our respondents still trusts their government mosto all to ght cor ruption. This seeming contradictionmight refect a number o things. People may eel a senseo commitment, optimism or even solidarity regardingthe core aims o government to act with accountability,integrity and transparency, by and or the people.
Alternatively, people may eel the checks and balanceson government, above all by the media, where one in
our would place their trust, make it well suited to provideleadership in the ght against corruption.
More must be done globally to guarantee that thegeneral population is not endangered by bribery andimpoverished by corruption. The ongoing trust ingovernments to address corruption, despite mixedper ormance by them thus ar, also provides a pointedmessage or leaders: act now to live up to peoplesexpectations. Loss o public support will undermine thesustained e ort that is needed to prevent and punishcorruption around the world.
The good news to be drawn rom the 2010 Barometeris that the general public is more than willing to engagein the ght against corruption and, critically, believes itcan make a di erence. This energy and commitmentmust be tapped into and nurtured, as it can improvegovernance in a way that bene ts people and society as
a whole. This public engagement, both real and potential,places renewed emphasis on accountability, both romgovernment and rom the people, to create the kind o systems that reject bribery and cor ruption.
Given the ndings o the 2010 Barometer, the choice orall those who want to end corruption is clear: engagepeople, empower people, and opt or solutions thatwork or people everywhere, building on the institutional
rameworks that can and must support this crucialcause. Ultimately, curbing corruption in all its guises willbe strengthened by solutions that create broad basedpublic support.

APPENDIX A: ABOUT THE SURVEY The Global Corruption Barometer is a public opinionsurvey that assesses the general publics perceptionsand experiences o corruption and bribery. In 2010 theGlobal Corruption Barometer covered 86 countries andterritories. In 84 o the countries evaluated, the surveywas carried out on behal o Transparency Internationalby Gallup International Association. In Bangladesh thesurvey was conducted by Transparency InternationalBangladesh and in Mongolia it was conducted by theIndependent Authority against Corruption o Mongolia(IAAC). Overall, the 2010 Global Corruption Barometer polled 91,781 individuals.
Timing o feldwork
Fieldwork or the survey was conducted between 1 June2010 and 30 September 2010.
Demographic variables
The demographic variables captured in the questionnaireare: age, education, household income, employment andreligion. For comparability purposes these variables wererecoded rom their original orm.
Sampling
In each country the sample is probabilistic and wasdesigned to represent the general adult population.General coverage o the sample is as ollows: 83 percent national and 17 per cent urban only. The interviewswere conducted either ace-to- ace, using sel -administered questionnaires, by telephone, internet orcomputer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) (mostlyin developed countries), with both male and emalerespondents aged 16 years and above.
Weighting
The data were weighted in two steps to obtainrepresentative samples by country and worldwide. Thedata were rst weighted to generate data representativeo the general population or each country. A secondweight, according to the size o the population surveyed,was then applied to obtain global and regional totals.
Transparency International Global Corruption Barometer 2010 35
Data entry and consistency checks
The nal questionnaire, which was reviewed andapproved by Transparency International, was markedwith columns, codes, and with indications o single ormulti-punching. Local survey agencies ollowed thislayout when entering data and sent an ASCII data leto the Gallup International Associations CoordinationCenter ollowing these speci cations.
The data was processed centrally by analysing di erentaspects such as whether all codes entered were validand i lters were respected and bases consistent.
I any inconsistency was ound, this was pointed out to
the local agency so they could evaluate the issue andsend back the revised and amended data.
Data or all countries was nally consolidated andweighted as speci ed above. All data analysis andvalidation was done using SPSS so tware.
Through the consistency check some problems weredetected and these problems prevented the use o data
rom some countries or certain portions o the overallanalysis o the report:
Omitted questions: Questions 3A7 and 3B7 in Malaysia,and Question 2.10 in Iceland.
Problems in coding responses: Questions 3A, 3Band 5 in Bangladesh. Thus the country is not included inthe analysis presented in sections 2 and 5 o this report,Figure 9 and Table 3 in Appendix C.
A lower than usual contact rate in Morocco (question3A) and data inconsistencies in question 3B in South
A rica led to these countries not being eatured in Table1, Figure 9 and Table 3 in Appendix C.
