Anti-Corruption Strategy
In order to prevent and mitigate the harmful impact of corruption on the economic development and social progress of its member countries, the African Development Bank Group (AfDB) has adopted a four point anti-corruption strategy which is:
- Preventing corruption in AfDB activities ;
- Mainstreaming corruption issues in AfDB activities;
- Helping Regional Member Countries (RMCs) that request assistance; and
- Participation in regional and global anti-corruption initiatives.
The Bank adopts a zero tolerance policy against fraud, corruption and misconduct and undertakes investigations of fraudulent and corrupt practices through the Integrity & Anti-Corruption Department (IACD).
