Globally, corruption saps economic growth, hinders development, destabilizes governments, undermines democracy, and provides openings for dangerous groups such as criminals, traffickers, and terrorists. The U.S. administration has designated anti-corruption as a core national security interest. As part of the U.S. Strategy on Countering Corruption, the Department of State works with partners across the globe to prevent graft, strengthen the investigation and prosecution of corruption, empower civil society and independent media to expose corruption, and advance reforms using evidence-based practices and training. The panel will discuss efforts that effectively counter corruption, improve police accountability and training, enhance the rule of law, and build public trust.
