Module 3: Common types of corruption in project procurement
Conclusion
Fraud, bribery, cartels, and abuse of procurement procedures can be common during the procurement phase of an infrastructure project.
It is therefore imperative that:
- awareness is raised about how corruption takes place during the procurement phase and how it can be prevented
- effective anti-corruption controls are put in place by all relevant project participants throughout the project cycle
- effective monitoring, reporting, investigation and prosecution systems are implemented.
(Note: Separate online modules cover how corruption takes place in the construction phase, and how to prevent and investigate corruption in the procurement and construction phases).
