Peter Maurer at #WEF24 on how behavioural science helps us to better understand and tackle corruption: "Institutions, laws, norms and processes to combat corruption and strengthen governance are important. But we also have to ask what informs behaviour. Behaviour is not only informed by the threat of being punished... it is structured and informed by informal codes in societies, by the way people interact with each other, by leaders setting the tone, by identity. Opening that behavioural science lens opens new opportunities for action on anti-corruption and governance." Watch the session "Being honest about governance" here, featuring Zeina Soufan, Tom Palmer, Philip Isdor Mpango and Helen Clark: https://lnkd.in/gRF4rNFr Our Public Governance team led by Claudia Baez Camargo is at the forefront of researching and applying anti-corruption interventions informed by behavioural science.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF DEMOCRACY | 15 SEPTEMBER 2024 Democracy thrives on the principles of fairness, transparency, and accountability. However, these foundations are increasingly threatened by pervasive corruption, which erodes trust in public institutions, undermines the rule of law, and distorts the allocation of resources, all of which are essential to a healthy democracy. When leaders and public servants engage in corrupt practices, it weakens the very fabric of our democratic systems, leading to disenfranchisement, inequality, and disillusionment among citizens. As we observe the International Day of Democracy on September 15, we should recognise that the fight against corruption as essential to preserving democratic values. The establishment of the International Anti-Corruption Court (IACCourt) would play a pivotal role in this effort, holding corrupt leaders accountable on a global scale and reinforcing the structures that uphold democracy. By promoting transparency, holding leaders accountable, and supporting anti-corruption initiatives, we can safeguard democracy and ensure that it serves the people it was designed to represent. Let us renew our commitment to building a world where democracy is not just a concept but a lived reality, free from the corrosive effects of corruption.
