| Summary |
In this latest Middle East and North Africa edition of the Global Corruption Barometer we find that 50 million adults in the region are having to pay bribes to access the basic services that they need. This is one of the findings from our survey, which aims to give a voice to ordinary citizen's views and experiences of corruption and help hold governments to account for their actions, or lack thereof, at stopping public sector graft. Public dissatisfaction with corrupt leaders and regimes has been a key catalyst for change in the Middle East and North Africa, notably with the Arab Spring protests, which began in 2010 and swept across the region in the years following. Yet, despite half a decade having passed since many of these protests first took place, our Global Corruption Barometer still finds widespread public dissatisfaction with government efforts to curb public sector graft. Perhaps even more worrying, the majority of people in the region perceive corruption to have risen recently (61 per cent), and many think that government officials and Members of Parliament are highly corrupt |
