Recommendations about the survey
• It is highly recommended, that the
commission conducts longitudinal
surveys, preferably on yearly basis,
to allow comparison of corruption
levels over time.
• This survey only covers five urban
cities. In future similar surveys
coverage of both urban and rural
areas would be inevitable
Continued………..

Institutions

• Promotion of Transparency and Enactment of
Freedom of Information Laws and Whistleblower
Statute
• Enactment and Enforcement of Anti-Corruption
Laws
