This Anti-Corruption Helpdesk brief was produced in response to a query from a U4 Partner Agency. The U4 Helpdesk is operated by Transparency International in collaboration with the U4 Anti-Corruption Resource Centre based at the Chr. Michelsen Institute.
Query
Are there any gender transformative approaches to anti-corruption in the field of development cooperation? What methods and specific measures can be used to make anti-corruption projects gender transformative?
Gender transformative approaches to anti-corruption seek to address the norms and structures that perpetuate power inequalities. Many anti-corruption projects have the potential to incorporate gender transformative approaches, but this remains a relatively new concept in the anti-corruption field, offering opportunities for further research and the development of innovative project ideas.
