DIGINTEGRITY: Digitally transforming the fight against corruption
Abstract
The unprecedented corruption scandals in Latin America that have come to light in the last decade suggest that the region is facing structural challenges that combine endemic corruption with institutional weakness. The fight against corruption and impunity, in that respect, is a fundamental part of the development agenda and post-pandemic reactivation policies.
The acceleration of digital transformation accompanied by the globalization of the economy is having an ambivalent effect on governments’ integrity agendas.
