Corruption is a pervasive challenge in organisations and institutions across all sectors. Whether you lead a department or oversee operations on a regional, national, or international scale, addressing corruption is likely not your primary expertise – yet it directly impacts your ability to deliver results.
In this practical and accessible guide, anti-corruption experts Mark Pyman and Paul Heywood introduce a powerful framework designed specifically for professionals like you. Moving beyond abstract, national-level strategies, they offer a sector-based approach that enables you to recognise, analyse, and effectively combat corruption where it matters most – in your own field.
The book outlines the SFRA method, a four-step process to help you:
Focus on your sector: Tackle corruption at the level where you have the most expertise and influence.
Break down the problem: Identify and prioritise specific, manageable issues rather than vague, overarching concerns.
Explore remediation strategies: Discover practical, real-world solutions backed by over 60 detailed examples.
Take targeted action: Use a variety of analytical lenses to select the most effective strategies for your context.
Packed with clear guidance, practical tools, and sector-specific insights, this book equips you to build more resilient organisations where integrity is embedded in core processes. Whether you are a practitioner, policymaker, or academic, Tackling Corruption offers the knowledge and strategies needed to drive meaningful, lasting change.
