00:02 Good morning and welcome to the

00:04 first anti-corruption for Development Global Forum,

00:07 restoring trust.

00:30 Corruption is a very dynamic process.

00:33 Those who are corrupt

00:35 have never ending new ideas.

00:38 Corruption fosters systemic exclusion,

00:41 hinders efforts to fight poverty,

00:43 and negatively affects economic growth and social development.

00:47 The regressive tax that corruption

00:50 constitutes,

00:51 taking money from the poor and giving to the rich,

00:54 it also has very deleterious political

00:57 effects.

00:58 And finally,

00:59 in line.

00:59 The overall theme of this workshop,

01:03 it breeds a generalized distrust.

01:05 Our entire theory of democracy is based on trust.

01:08 So when it's questioned or undermined,

01:10 so is our democratic experiment,

01:12 and that is perhaps

01:13 the highest cost we may pay.

01:14 It leads to the destabilization of societies,

01:18 conflict around the world,

01:20 food insecurity,

01:21 and it makes it harder for businesses to operate.

01:24 Corruption fundamentally steals away from human dignity in every aspect.

01:36 This is a global problem and we have to really put our brains together to solve it.

01:40 We need to start

01:42 walking the talk

01:44 and take actions.

01:45 We shouldn't underestimate the power of coalitions to bring change.

01:49 We need collective action platforms where we can speak as a collective

01:52 and show that this is more of a systemic gender issue.

01:55 Collaboration and almost radical sharing of information

01:58 is much better than the previous.

02:00 Approach.

02:01 Existing anti-corruption tools

02:03 can be better used,

02:05 more extensively used

02:07 in issues impacting on climate change.

02:09 To reduce corruption,

02:10 we need to work together.

02:12 It is vital that you continue to pursue the truth because without the truth,

02:17 The bad guys get away with it.

02:19 Strong institutions,

02:20 accountability,

02:22 transparency,

02:23 key words

02:24 in order

02:26 to fight corruption.

02:33 The World Bank has been working on this issue for a long time.

02:37 We have done over the last five years $23 billion in 119 projects

02:45 that have a component on transparency or accountability or good governance.

02:49 Corruption is a big challenge,

02:51 but relaxing

02:53 is an option and requires constant work.

Good morning and welcome to the first anti-corruption for Development Global Forum, restoring trust. Corruption is a very dynamic process. Those who are corrupt have never ending new ideas. Corruption fosters systemic exclusion, hinders efforts to fight poverty, and negatively affects economic growth and social development. The regressive tax that corruption constitutes, taking money from the poor and giving to the rich, it also has very deleterious political effects. And finally, in line. The overall theme of this workshop, it breeds a generalized distrust. Our entire theory of democracy is based on trust. So when it's questioned or undermined, so is our democratic experiment, and that is perhaps the highest cost we may pay. It leads to the destabilization of societies, conflict around the world, food insecurity, and it makes it harder for businesses to operate. Corruption fundamentally steals away from human dignity in every aspect. This is a global problem and we have to really put our brains together to solve it. We need to start walking the talk and take actions. We shouldn't underestimate the power of coalitions to bring change.
