Chapter Chapter 4 in Corruption, Sustainable Development and Security Challenges in Africa, 2023, pp 57-83 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter quantifies, outlines, and analyzes the nexus between corruption and sustainable development in Africa. It employs the relevant disaggregated data and also complements that with the results of reliable empirical studies to further cross-reference and demonstrate the corruption and sustainable development nexus. The chapter shows that corruption in Africa continues to be negatively associated with development objectives and that, in turn, will continue to affect the continent’s progress in achieving sustainable development. Policy implications are also considered and analyzed. Undoubtedly, corruption is very damaging to economies across all nations and regions. However, in Africa, this impact on development has been particularly severe and ongoing.
