MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The battle against corruption in Madagascar, despite concerted efforts and the establishment of dedicated institutions since 2004, remains a formidable obstacle to economic and democratic progress. Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index and the Afrobarometer survey reveal persistent challenges, including citizens’ reluctance to report corruption due to fear of retaliation and insufficient funding for anti-corruption institutions. The pervasive perception of corruption across various sectors and concerns about legal inequality underscore the complexity of the issue. To address these challenges, this work proposes a comprehensive approach, including strengthening whistleblower protection mechanisms inspired by successful models, increasing financial resources for anticorruption efforts, and implementing public sector reforms. The recommendations aim to instill confidence in the fight against corruption, fostering a transparent and resilient environment conducive to Madagascar’s growth and development.
