Book excerpt: « Les projets de développement international (PDI) sont devenus très complexes avec une plus grande diversité d'acteurs pour leur mise en œuvre. La gestion des projets (GP) et ses méthodes sont mises au défi, car les statistiques montrent la faible efficacité relative de ce type de projets. Cela même si les acteurs de l'aide au développement ont mis en place des méthodes de GP et de programmes de pointe, souvent alignés sur la perspective occidentale de la profession. Une hypothèse importante pour expliquer cette situation est que la corruption serait négligée par la GP, et ainsi rendant incapable la discipline d’agir pour la gérer, la prévenir, la contourner et/ou la contrer. Notons qu’il faut aller au-delà des tabous et préjugés, et que la corruption peut survenir à divers niveaux et dans divers pays tout au long de la chaîne de valeur de l'aide au développement. Compte tenu du manque de recherche sur ce phénomène, la présente étude tente d'apporter une nouvelle perspective sur la lutte contre la corruption sous l'angle du « contexte » des projets de développement. Cela permet de focaliser sur les dimensions culturelles, politiques et institutionnelles qui influencent les processus et méthodes de GP, et qui peuvent empêcher d’atteindre pleinement les objectifs des projets entrepris. Par conséquent, la question de recherche suivante est l’objectif de la thèse : Comment la corruption, dans les pays en développement, combinée à la mauvaise gouvernance, empêchent les projets de développement international (PDI) d’atteindre de manière significative, leurs objectifs, notamment en Afrique sub-saharienne? L’étude procède par la méthode de la théorie ancrée, fondée sur trente (30) entrevues avec des experts internationaux du développement. L’échantillonnage opportuniste tente d’équilibrer la représentation des répondants venant des pays donateurs et des pays bénéficiaires, ainsi que des gestionnaires de projet de l’aide internationale ayant travaillé dans des organisations bilatérales, multilatérales et des ONG en coopération internationale. Les données qualitatives sont analysées à l'aide d'une méthode de tri conceptuel à l'aide du logiciel NVivo. Sur la base de l’analyse, un ensemble de quatre-vingt-seize (96) extraits d’entrevues représentatifs qui sont rapportés. Dans le respect des principes de la théorie ancrée, l’interprétation est menée après l’analyse, sans influence théorique préalable. Elle est basée sur quatre fondements théoriques pour relier les données obtenues au sein d'un modèle cohérent : la théorie des intérêts organisationnels, la théorie du principal-agent, la théorie culturaliste et la théorie institutionnelle. Le modèle émergeant de cette recherche sert à identifier le contexte des personnes qui sont parties prenantes et de mieux savoir en quoi, où et comment la corruption empêche la GP et les PDI d’être efficaces. Les résultats et le modèle sont discutés dans le contexte de trois ensembles de constructions théoriques. Tout d'abord, le modèle du contexte des PDI peut être lié aux théories existantes en matière de GP pour ces projets et des études anti-corruption. Deuxièmement, ce contexte est relié à la littérature émergente en développement international, à savoir le cadre théorique du néo-patrimonialisme. Troisièmement, un ensemble de facteurs au niveau de la gouvernance peuvent avoir un impact sur l'efficacité de la lutte contre la corruption, y compris dans les méthodes de GP. La conclusion tire des leçons pour la pratique de la GP dans les PDI. Elle identifie aussi les faiblesses de l’étude, tout en apportant une série de propositions pour des recherches futures. »--Page vi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corruption is linked to a wide range of developmental issues, including undermining democratic institutions, slowing economic development and contributing to government instability, poverty and inequality. It is estimated that corruption costs more than 5 per cent of global GDP, and that more than one trillion US dollars are paid in bribes each year. This book unpacks the concept of corruption, its political and ethical influences, its measurement, commitments to combat corruption and ways that this is being attempted. Building on the research on the nature, causes and consequences of corruption, this book analyses international anti-corruption interventions in particular. It discusses approaches to focus efforts to tackle corruption in developing countries on where they are most likely to be successful. The efforts of the UK are considered as a detailed case study, with comparisons brought in as necessary from other countries’ and multilateral institutions’ anti-corruption efforts. Bridging a range of disciplines, Anti-Corruption in International Development will be of interest to students and scholars of international development, public administration, management, international relations, politics and criminal justice.

This book was released on 2023-09-07 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds light on Africa’s development performance and dynamics arising from the interface between corruption and sustainable development on the one hand and the challenges that poses for peace, security and stability. Corruption also contributes to the spread of terrorism and violent extremism. Pervasive corruption networks often include politicians, civil servants working at all levels of state institutions, representatives of the private sector and members of crime syndicates. The consequences of corruption are detrimental in many aspects, such as undermining governments’ ability to serve public interests and eroding public trust in democratic processes. Presenting empirical evidence, the book explains why corruption and the looting of staggering amounts of national assets undermine the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and has a negative impact on peace, stability, security, the rule of law, gender equality, the environment and human rights. This makes the book a must-read for students, researchers and scholars of political science, international relations, and economics in general, as well as African studies, development studies, and security sector studies in particular, covering issues and themes on corruption, governance, socio-economic sustainable development, public administration and management, policing in an international context, police reform, and security sector reform. It will also serve as a helpful resource for policy-makers interested in a better understanding of the connection between corruption, sustainable development, and security challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Book excerpt: In global development, corruption entangles many societies, most observably in the vulnerable fabric of developing nations. Examining Corruption and the Sustainable Development Goals unravels the layers of this persistent challenge, meticulously examining its pervasive influence on pursuing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This book ventures into the heart of corruption's impacts, spanning economic, social, political, and environmental dimensions. Corruption, manifesting in insidious forms such as bribery, embezzlement, and nepotism, casts a daunting shadow over the integrity of public institutions, eroding public trust crucial for sustainable development initiatives. This book explores case studies, robust theoretical frameworks, and insightful policy perspectives. It is tailored for an audience within the academic research community, scholars, researchers, policymakers, and development practitioners thirsty for an understanding of the complex interplay between corruption and sustainable development in the developing world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Africa, grade: HD, Murdoch University (Sir Walter School of Public Policy and International Affairs), course: Development Studies, language: English, abstract: Given the conflicting ideas surrounding the impacts of decentralisation as predicted, this essay argues that while decentralisation may have contributed to improving good governance in certain countries around the world, the contrary holds for sub-Saharan countries. Thus, this essay explores the extent at which decentralisation has contributed to fighting corruption in the sub-Sahara. Overwhelmed by bad governance, an eyesore of poverty and disease, the relics of prolong corruption and misrule have pushed developing countries in sub-Saharan Africa and their counterparts, the World Bank (WB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) into political, administrative and economic reforms. Since the 1990s, decentralisation has been a key policy instrument advocated and favoured by governments, donor countries, civil society and international institutions to engender good governance. Many countries in Africa have speedily implemented political, administrative and fiscal decentralisation within the last three decades (Conyers 2007; Dickovick and Wunsch 2014). The primary or perhaps the profound motivation for the wave of decentralisation around the world, particularly in sub-Saharan, is based on the conceptual argument that it offers potential benefits. According to proponents, in a decentralised governance system where power and resources are devolved, services will increase alongside efficiency. Productive and economic growth will inhibit rent-seeking, encouraging downward accountability to promote civic participation in decision-making. This will eventually alleviate poverty and reduce corruption. It is expected that where these goals are achieved, the level of human development index will rise in sub-Saharan Africa. In spite of th

Book excerpt: Many anti-corruption efforts have had only a minimal effect on curbing the problem of corruption. This book explains why that is, and shows readers what works in the real world in the fight against corruption, and why. Counter-corruption initiatives often focus on the legal, institutional, and contextual factors that facilitate corrupt behavior, but these have had only nominal impacts, because most of these reforms can be circumvented by government officials, powerful citizens, and business people who are relentless in their quest for self-interest. This book argues that instead, we should target the key individual and group drivers of corrupt behavior and, through them, promote sustainable behavioral change. Drawing on over 25 years of practical experience planning, designing, and implementing anti-corruption programs in over 40 countries, as well as a wealth of insights from social psychological, ethical, and negotiation research, this book identifies innovative tools that target these core human motivators of corruption, with descriptions of pilot tests that show how they can work in practice. Anti-corruption is again becoming a priority issue, prompted by the emergence of more authoritarian regimes, and the public scrutiny of government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Straddling theory and practice, this book is the perfect guide to what works and what doesn’t, and will be valuable for policymakers, NGOs, development practitioners, and corruption studies students and researchers.

Book excerpt: Donor sponsored anti-corruption programmes represent an increasingly large segment of international development assistance to Africa. While the ostensible objective of these programmes is to reduce African corruption, the generality of these programmes suggests other factors appear to motivate the design and implementation of these programmes. This paper attempts to assess the generality of these programmes by looking at the specificity, relevance and fit of proposed anti-corruption activities. The malleability of these programmes suggests that programme design draws from a mix of broader discursive fields and the genuine attempt to improve project performance and decrease corruption.

This book was released on 2024-06-14 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing international development and aid programs often relies on trial and error and flexibility. Practitioners need a mix of management theory and field practice to prepare them for work in other countries—transitional, developing, wealthier, and poorer alike. Filling an important gap in the literature for graduate students and practitioners in the public sector, private firms, contractors, and nonprofit organizations that manage development assistance projects, this is a guide to dealing with core issues likely to be faced in doing field work. International Development Management for Public and Nonprofit Organizations offers an accessible primer on the basics of managing and motivating people, teams, and organizations. It focuses on challenges and opportunities to managing in difficult cultures and contexts, including hostile political regimes. The book takes a deeper look at management in four sectors: public finance, urban transport, K–12 education, and natural resources and the environment. Presented throughout the book are 28 cases, designed to stimulate critical discussions, as well as five technical exercises to allow integration of theory and practice. This textbook is supplemented by slides for teaching along with a sample syllabus. It is addressed to current and future international aid managers, including those enrolled in international management and international development courses at the university level. Professional development organizations, such as contractors, nonprofits, and donors, will also find the book a useful addition to their training materials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an extensive study on the extant constructs of corruption in infrastructure-related projects and aims to contribute to the determination and elimination of its incidence and prevalence in infrastructure projects. The book conducts a comprehensive examination of the various determining factors of corruption that negatively affect the procurement process and, in the end, result in cost and time overruns. The authors present an in-depth understanding of how the identified determining factors of corruption can be addressed. Thus, it is intended to broaden the reader's knowledge of the causes, risk indicators, and different forms of corrupt practices in the procurement process of infrastructure works, before explaining how they affect its stages and activities A dynamic model is developed to demonstrate how to tackle the overall impact of corruption within the procurement process and, at the same time, increase the effectiveness of the extant anti-corruption measures. In short, this book demonstrates that the fight against corruption in the procurement process is strategically feasible and must continue. This book is essential reading for academics, researchers, professionals and stakeholders in the procurement of infrastructure projects and civil works, as well as those with an interest in corruption, construction management and construction project management.
