Gender & Corruption

Men and women are affected by corruption in different ways and are subjects and objects of different corrupt practices and behaviours. Gender inequality allows corrupt networks to grow, which in turn entrenches gender inequalities. A gender perspective is a key component when developing effective programmes and projects to combat and prevent corruption and achieve sustainable development.

The thematic brief on mainstreaming gender in corruption projects/programmes provides a step by step guidance on how to practically mainstream gender throughout programme documents.
