Transparency and Accountability
Regional and Country Support
Corruption adversely affects not just economic development, but income distribution, the legitimacy of the political system, the viability of the state, and the level of crime. In November 2009, the Board of Directors of the IDB approved the Action Plan for Supporting Countries’ Efforts to Combat Corruption and Foster Transparency (PAACT) to address this challenge. Read more about the PAACT's mission, vision and values.
The PAACT establishes a strategic policy framework that seeks to integrate, update and deepen mechanisms and capacities to prevent, monitor and penalize corruption. The PAACT represents a renewed commitment to working, supporting and cooperating with countries in the region in this critical area for development.
