When the year 2021 ended, we were cautiously breathing a sigh of relief. It seemed that the pandemic was starting to get under control in a growing number of countries, and that we could turn our full attention again to the other pandemic, corruption.
Our 2021 Annual Report presents 10 stories from our work around the world to fight corruption and improve governance.
