Social norms shape corruption, but power and interests sustain it.
🔹 If elites benefit from rule-breaking, they’ll resist change.
🔹 Reform strategies must account for power dynamics to succeed.

🔍 Can social norms fight corruption? Yes—but not alone.

Norms influence behaviour, but powerful actors shape the rules. Without tackling vested interests, norm change alone won’t succeed.

'In the UK, ownership of real estate can still be hidden through offshore companies held by trusts, bypassing recent transparency reforms.'

UK interests enable much needed funds to be siphoned out of Africa. How can incentives here shift when the powerful have so much to gain?

[Transparency International @anticorruption]

Instead of building schools and hospitals, billions in public funds from Africa vanish into offshore accounts, luxury real estate and shell companies.

We have analysed 78 cases, revealing where stolen funds end up. Check it out! ⬇️ https://t.co/qcirQ9dp8t

@WorldBank @AfDB_Group The reasons for lack of access to electricity are complicated, often involving corruption. Solutions need to reflect the local power structures and incentives. In Nigeria, for example, our research has identified mini-grids as a feasible solution: https://t.co/n0tj4fTC2d

Financial secrecy and loopholes can weaken the impact of targeted sanctions against persons suspected of corruption.

🔌 Access to electricity is a major constraint to #economic growth in #Nigeria. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are highly disadvantaged by a lack of access to power.

❔What can be done?

UK regulators face calls to investigate London business ties with former Bangladeshi minister accused of #corruption. MP argues 'making London the anti-corruption capital of the world requires proactive, swift and robust investigation'. A lofty goal, but he's not wrong.
