Identifying strategic priorities to create a culture of integrity in Latin America

What can governments in Latin America and the Caribbean do to effectively control corruption and promote a culture of integrity? What can they do differently? Essentially, corruption is symptomatic: it is not by fighting it that it is controlled or minimised. This insight is not new (Hors, 2000[40] Kaufmann, 2015[41]). The following sections identify the core governance challenges that underlie corruption risks in the region and propose actions to address these risks both at country level and through an improved regional cooperation across countries in the region.
