In 2023, Zambiaโs CPI score (Corruption Perceptions Index) increased for the first time in 10 years, from 33 in 2022 to 37 in 2023.
The CPI measures countriesโ perceptions of public sector corruption, assigning a score that ranges from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).
Zambiaโs CPI improvement in 2023 resulted from improvements in some of the individual data sources that were used to calculate the CPI, mainly concerning prosecution effectiveness, political corruption, and procurement corruption- in particular, the Bertelsmann Stiftung Transformation Index, Global Insight Country Risk Ratings, and the Variety of Democracy Project. Other indexes, however, revealed no marked improvement, which led us at TI-Z to formulate some recommendations.

Stay tuned for the launch of the 2024 CPI, on Tuesday 11th Feb, at 8 AM CAT.
