Corruption, Poverty and Gender Services Kannen koko: 173 x 246, selkä 24 mm Over the current decade, it has become commonplace to consider women intrinsically less prone to corruption than men, and design development interventions and poverty reduction strategies accordingly. This study analyses the linkages between corruption and poverty, and summarizes the relevant debate on gender and corruption. It is based on academic literature and relevant public documents, supplemented with interviews and first-hand observations in both urban and rural areas in Nicaragua and Tanzania. The study supports the hypothesis that corruption and non-delivery of services have gender-specific poverty consequences. Corruption can be seen as a mechanism that produces and perpetuates social and economic inequality; it constitutes a regressive redistribution of resources from the poor to the non-poor. In the case of basic public services such as healthcare and primary education, the impact of corruption is felt disproportionately by women and the poor, who are most dependent on public Gender and Poverty Corruption, services. Corruption is a serious symptom of the lack of a closed network of social capital on the national level. The problem of the formation of negative, bonding social capital in the practice of corruption is an important element that has so far been neglected in anticorruption strategies. There is a gendered opportunity structure to be able to use corrupt practice for one’s own benefit, and corruption can also be seen as a social activity field where gender roles are performed and gender role expectations fulfilled. While bringing more women into politics and public office is important for advancing gender and social equity concerns, what matters is not the simple access of women to power, but the means of their access and the nature of the institutions in which they function.

    Transparency International Anti-Corruption Helpdesk Answer Overview of corruption and anti- corruption in Tanzania Author(s): Kaunain Rahman, [email protected] Reviewer(s): Roberto Martinez B. Kukutschka, Paul Banoba and Brian Cooksey, Transparency International Date: 30 September 2019 The Tanzanian government under the presidency of John Magufuli has cracked down heavily on corruption. Despite the current anti-corruption campaigns, however, political, petty and grand corruption seem to be endemic in the country. The regime is becoming increasingly authoritarian, resulting in the suppression of dissent, banning of protests, and a crackdown on media and opposition forces. Observers state that populist anti-corruption operations have to give way to initiatives aimed at a systemic and structural overhaul to bring about lasting and meaningful change. © 2019 Transparency International.

    Case 1:07-cv-22693-PCH Document 352 Entered on FLSD Docket 10/20/09 16:20:32 Page 1 of 60 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA CASE NO.: 07-22693-CIV-HUCK MIGUEL ANGEL SANCHEZ OSORIO, et al., Plaintiffs, vs. DOLE FOOD COMPANY, et al., Defendants. _______________________________________/ ORDER DENYING RECOGNITION OF JUDGMENT This is an action to enforce a $97 million Nicaraguan judgment under the Florida Uniform Out-of-country Foreign Money-Judgments Recognition Act (Florida Recognition Act). FLA. STAT. §§ 55.601-55.607 (2009). Plaintiffs are 150 Nicaraguan citizens alleged to have worked on banana plantations in Nicaragua between 1970 and 1982, during which time they were exposed to the chemical compound dibromochloropropane (DBCP). DBCP is an agricultural pesticide that was banned in the United States after it was linked to sterility in factory workers in 1977. Nicaragua banned DBCP in 1993. Defendants are Dole Food Company and The Dow Chemical Company, both Delaware corporations.1 Dow manufactured DBCP from 1957 until 1977, and Dole used DBCP on its banana farms in Nicaragua until the farms were expropriated by the Sandinista regime that came to power in 1979. The judgment in this case was rendered by a trial court in Chinandega, Nicaragua. The trial court awarded Plaintiffs approximately $97 million under “Special Law 364,” enacted by the Nicaraguan legislature in 2000 specifically to handle DBCP claims. The average award was approximately $647,000 per plaintiff. According to the Nicaraguan trial court, these sums were awarded to compensate Plaintiffs for DBCP-induced infertility and its accompanying adverse psychological effects.

Multinationals, supported by Western governments and their agencies, are engaging in corruption on a vast scale in North and South alike. Donor governments and multilateral agencies such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund frequently put forward ‘good governance’ agendas to combat corruption, but their other actions send different signals about where their priorites lie.
