PREFACE In 1996, then World Bank President James Wolfensohn appealed to the international development community to fight the “cancer of corruption”, bringing corruption to the fore of the World Bank’s agenda. A year later, in 1997, the Executive Board endorsed the paper Helping Countries Combat Corruption: the Role of the World Bank, which “fundamentally reformed the way the World Bank thinks about and acts against corruption”, and set policies for how the World Bank would tackle corruption. In March 2007, the Executive Board unanimously endorsed a new strategy and set of policies to im- prove governance and fight corruption: Strengthening World Bank Group Engagement on Gover- nance and Corruption. The strategy essentially confirmed the 1997 commitment to fight corruption, but with an important difference in emphasis: “reducing corruption by strengthening governance” rather than simply “stopping corruption”. Six months later, in September 2007, the World Bank finalized the Implementation Plan for the strategy. A key element of the Implementation Plan is to develop sector-level diagnostics and interventions, specifically signaling the need to “mainstream governance and anticorruption [activities] in sectors … where opportunities for interventions are often more immediate”. This Sourcebook is part of a broader program of work on governance and corruption in the water sup- ply and sanitation sector. The Sourcebook is meant as a resource to assist water and sanitation sec- tor practitioners to assess the extent and risks of corruption in the sector and to improve governance in ways that reduce corruption. As this is an emerging field, the sourcebook is not intended to be a manual, nor a set of directives but rather to organize and illustrate approaches and tools which sector practitioners may find useful. The work program on governance and corruption of which these sourcebooks are a part includes an extensive database of academic and operational literature on governance and anti-corruption, a review of global knowledge and of World Bank practice that was presented and reviewed by sector and governance specialists. iii ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS ADB Asian Development Bank APC Aguas de Puerto Cortés BEEPS Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey CAS Country Assistance Strategy CoST Construction Sector Transparency Initiative CPI Corruption Perception Index CPIA Country Policy and Institutional Assessment CRC Citizen Report Card DFID Department for International Development DIR Detailed Implementation Review EBRD European Bank for Reconstruction and Development IBNET International Benchmarking Network for Water and Sanitation Utilities IDA International Development Association IDB Inter-American Development Bank INT Department of Institutional Integrity IT Information Technology KDP Kecamatan Development Project MDB Multilateral Development Bank NGO Non-governmental organization NRW Non-revenue water NWC National Water Commission PACS Project Anti-Corruption System PIP Performance Improvement Plan PMU Project Management Unit PSP Private sector participation QSDS Quantitative Service Delivery Survey SABESP Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo Water sector Combined water and sanitation sector WSP Water and Sanitation Program iv TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 INTRODUCTION ...................................................................................................................... 1 1.1 What’s in the Sourcebook .......................................................................................... 1 1.2 How to Use the Sourcebook ...................................................................................... 2 1.3 A Sourcebook, not a Toolkit ....................................................................................... 2 2 UNDERSTANDING CORRUPTION AND GOVERNANCE ........................................................ 4 2.1 Definition of Corruption .............................................................................................. 4 2.2 Dynamics of Corruption ............................................................................................. 6 2.3 Persistence of Corruption ........................................................................................... 8 2.4 To Reduce Corruption, Improve Governance ........................................................ 8 2.5 Four Levels of Governance Analysis ....................................................................... 10 2.6 Dealing with Second (and Third) Best Solutions .................................................... 12 PART I ASSESSING CORRUPTION RISKS ..................................................................................... 17 3 COUNTRY LEVEL SCAN FOR CORRUPTION RISK ................................................................ 19 4 SECTOR ASSESSMENT .......................................................................................................... 24 4.1 Sector Performance and Efficiency Indicators ..................................................... 24 4.2 Asset Observation ..................................................................................................... 24 4.3 Informal Service Provision ......................................................................................... 26 4.4 Stakeholder Complaints and Dialogue .................................................................. 27 4.5 Surveys of Corruption in Infrastructure Sectors ...................................................... 28 4.6 Mapping Corruption Risk across the Water Supply and Sanitation Sector ........ 29 5 DETECTING CORRUPTION AT THE PROVIDER LEVEL ........................................................... 39 5.1 Suppliers and Contractors ....................................................................................... 39 5.2 Connections and Commercial Operations ........................................................... 42 5.3 Human Resources ..................................................................................................... 44 5.4 Company Property and Money

  • Do Political Finance Reforms Reduce Corruption?
    Do Political Finance Reforms Reduce Corruption? Calla Hummel*1 John Gerring** Thomas Burt** *Department of Political Science, University of Miami **Department of Government, University of Texas at Austin Abstract Reformers claim that public subsidies and regulations of political finance reduce corruption in politics, while observers worry that they have no impact on corruption or increase it. Despite national-level debates and billions of dollars spent, few studies test this relationship. We argue that political finance reform mitigates corruption by reducing private money’s importance in politics and increasing sanctions for corrupt behavior. Elite interviews from Paraguay’s political finance reform illustrate the argument and elaborate the theoretical mechanisms. We evaluate the argument with an original dataset measuring political subsidies from 175 countries from 1900-2015, as well as disaggregated corruption measures from the Varieties of Democracy project. Findings support the thesis that political finance reform reduces corruption, even in countries where reforms are unevenly implemented. 1 We gratefully acknowledge helpful comments from Hind Arroub, Alejandro Avenburg, Merike Blofield, Ashley Brooks, Kevin Casas-Zamora, Lee Cojocaru, Louise Davidson-Schmich, Peter Esaiasson, Jessica Gottlieb, Adam Harris, Allen Hicken, Jay Kao, Sokol Lleschi, Lindsay Mayka, Daniel Ogbaharya, Susan Scarrow, Iryna Solonenko, Mike Touchton, Agustín Vallejo, Jack Vowles, and the Political Science faculty workshop at the University of Miami.
