A particularly harmful form of corruption, it is difficult to measure and prosecute, and can have devastating physical and psychological impacts on survivors\u002Fvictims.\n\nAs it disproportionately affects women and marginalised groups, sexual corruption has an important impact on the advancement of gender equality and minority rights.\n\nThis Quick Guide explains the basics of sexual corruption: what it is, its prevalence and why it persists. It takes a brief look at strategies to combat sexual corruption, with a focus on challenging the underlying social norms that help to sustain it.\n\n### About this Quick Guide\n\nYou are free to share and republish this work under a \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcreativecommons.org\u002Flicenses\u002Fby-nc-nd\u002F4.0\u002F\">Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0 Licence\u003C\u002Fa>.

corruption: Initial insights into sextortion and double bribery affecting female businesswomen in Malawi",2040,2021,"This report offers an initial insight into the problem of gendered corruption, including sextortion and so-called double bribery, based on interviews with 19 businesswomen in Malawi. Part of a wider research project into procurement corruption, the interviews aimed to explore the extent of gendered corruption as a coercive form of social exchange, as well as the role of informal corrupt networks in magnifying gender-specific inequalities.\n\nThough based on a small sample in one particular context, the findings indicate that more research into this topic is urgently needed globally with a view to mainstreaming sexual corruption into anti-corruption programming. Initial findings indicate that:\n\n\n- Sextortion, forced sexual favours, \"double bribery\" and other forms of sexual corruption are perceived to be widespread in Malawi. \n- Women's risk of being subjected to sexual corruption increases in informal network settings, such as those in which business takes place.\n- Socio-economic factors and gender-imbalanced power dynamics play an important role in enabling sexual corruption to take place with impunity.\n- Trustworthy reporting and support mechanisms for sexual corruption are said to be lacking. \n- Existing female-only business self-help groups could provide a strong base for enabling women to address issues of sexual corruption and related gendered violence. \n\n\nOverall, there is a great need for more research and policy attention globally to gendered corruption and related issues that still remain – tragically – hidden from view or considered as normal. \n\n### About this publication\n\nThe research underpinning this report has been undertaken in support of the Tackling Serious and Organised Crime (TSOC) programme in Malawi, which is funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.\n\nThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).\n\nSuggested citation: Stahl, C., 2021. *Gendered corruption: Initial insights into sextortion and double bribery affecting female businesswomen in Malawi.* Basel Institute on Governance, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fpublications\u002Fgendered-corruption-initial-insights-sextortion-and-double-bribery-affecting-female\">https:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fpublications\u002Fgendered-corruption-initial-in…\u003C\u002Fa>.",[148],"Public Governance",[150],"Report","2021-06-28","https:\u002F\u002Fjam.baselgovernance.org\u002Fapi\u002Fassets\u002F5b923df6-8ac9-4ee3-8161-d9b3fe92ac9a?width=600&height=840",[],[],[156],{"authors_id":157},{"id":158,"name":159},354,"Cosimo Stahl",[161],{"countries_id":162},{"id":163,"name":164},153,"Malawi",[166,168,170],{"tags_id":167},{"id":75,"name":76},{"tags_id":169},{"id":93,"name":94},{"tags_id":171},{"id":172,"name":173},1309,"Informality",[175],1836,[177],"Corruption Prevention and Public Governance",[15],"2022-04-27T11:53:45.000Z","2026-05-29T22:22:42.000Z","\u002Fresources\u002Fpublications\u002Fgendered-corruption-initial-insights-sextortion-and-double-bribery-affecting-female",{"id":183,"slug":184,"title":185,"status":6,"nid":186,"year":187,"body":188,"external":19,"topic":189,"language":15,"type":190,"date_published":192,"image":193,"citation":194,"publisher":195,"link_internal":196,"link_external":197,"authors":201,"countries":224,"tags":237,"pdf":242,"topics":243,"featured":19,"languages":244,"summary":7,"programme":7,"area":7,"websites":7,"pdf_text":7,"sort":7,"user_created":56,"date_created":245,"user_updated":57,"date_updated":246,"main_points":7,"short_version":7,"subtitle":7,"link":247},1842,"petty-corruption-public-sector-comparative-study-three-east-african-countries-through","Petty corruption in the public sector: A comparative study of three East African countries through a behavioural lens",1837,2020,"This article presents comparative evidence about the relevance of behavioural drivers in relation to petty corruption in three East African countries. It discusses the potential to incorporate behavioural insights into anti-corruption policy-making.\n\nPersistently high levels of bureaucratic corruption prevail in many countries across the African continent. This along with the limited effectiveness of conventional anti-corruption prescriptions call for a contextualised understanding of the multiple factors determining corruption-related decision-making.\n\nAdopting a behavioural lens involves accounting for the human factor as it relates to the effects of sociality and social constructs on propensities for corruption. As such, this novel approach complements the literature that has sought to understand corruption on the basis of political, economic, and institutional drivers and constraints.\n\nField research conducted in Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda found evidence for such behavioural drivers, showing that citizens are swayed by social pressures and beliefs that ultimately spur petty corruption by endorsing associated maladaptive practices. Sustained by social norms of group solidarity and reciprocity and legitimised by commonly shared perceptions of corruption as the norm, the research points to a problematic overlap of the public (formal) and the socio-cultural (informal) spheres.\n\nBy adding a behavioural dimension to the study of the drivers of corruption, this article seeks to contribute towards the development of more effective anti-corruption policy formulation that acknowledges the pitfalls attached to behavioural factors that conventional anti-corruption prescriptions have largely failed to address.\n\nThe article was published in the open-access African Studies journal on 19 August 2020.",[148],[191],"Article","2020-08-19","https:\u002F\u002Fjam.baselgovernance.org\u002Fapi\u002Fassets\u002F4bc5fb34-b953-48d6-8727-a9a2200a2327?width=600&height=840","Claudia Baez-Camargo, Paul Bukuluki, Richard Sambaiga, Tharcisse Gatwa, Saba Kassa & Cosimo Stahl (2020): Petty corruption in the public sector: A comparative study of three East African countries through a behavioural lens, African Studies","African Studies",[],[198],{"url":199,"caption":200},"https:\u002F\u002Fdoi.org\u002F10.1080\u002F00020184.2020.1803729","View article",[202,206,210,214,218,222],{"authors_id":203},{"id":204,"name":205},295,"Claudia Baez Camargo",{"authors_id":207},{"id":208,"name":209},369,"Paul Bukuluki",{"authors_id":211},{"id":212,"name":213},370,"Richard Sambaiga",{"authors_id":215},{"id":216,"name":217},371,"Tharcisse Gatwa",{"authors_id":219},{"id":220,"name":221},303,"Saba Kassa",{"authors_id":223},{"id":158,"name":159},[225,229,233],{"countries_id":226},{"id":227,"name":228},224,"Tanzania",{"countries_id":230},{"id":231,"name":232},226,"Uganda",{"countries_id":234},{"id":235,"name":236},189,"Rwanda",[238,240],{"tags_id":239},{"id":75,"name":76},{"tags_id":241},{"id":93,"name":94},[],[177],[15],"2022-04-27T11:54:10.000Z","2026-05-29T22:22:49.000Z","\u002Fresources\u002Fpublications\u002Fpetty-corruption-public-sector-comparative-study-three-east-african-countries-through",{"id":249,"slug":250,"title":251,"status":6,"nid":252,"year":16,"body":253,"external":19,"topic":254,"language":15,"type":255,"date_published":256,"image":257,"citation":14,"publisher":17,"link_internal":258,"link_external":260,"authors":261,"countries":270,"tags":271,"pdf":286,"topics":288,"featured":34,"languages":289,"summary":7,"programme":7,"area":7,"websites":7,"pdf_text":7,"sort":7,"user_created":56,"date_created":290,"user_updated":57,"date_updated":291,"main_points":7,"short_version":7,"subtitle":7,"link":292},2393,"qg38","Quick Guide 38: Border corruption",2766,"Border corruption – defined simply as an illegal exchange between border officials and private actors – is a complex phenomenon with serious impacts on safety, health and security.

This article takes a different angle, namely to understand this phenomenon from the perspective of the country that is the “target” of strategic corruption in a context of weak governance. The focus is on Sudan, where, in 2019, the civilian-military government led by Prime Minister Hamdok began an ambitious transition to democratic governance and adopting anti-corruption reforms, but this transition ended in 2023 with state collapse and conflict.\n\nUsing desk research and media analysis, the article explains the key points of contention among key actors and how external actors, through strategic corruption, became part of this story, ultimately helping to perpetuate the negative downward cycle.\n\nCritically, rather than framing countries in the Global South as passive victims of strategic corruption, the analysis shows that political actors are active antagonists and, in their efforts to resist reform, build alliances with external actors who can help them achieve their goals. What is exchanged is access to valuable resources, which fuels corruption and undermines governance.\n\n",[21,22],[191],"2025-04-29","https:\u002F\u002Fjam.baselgovernance.org\u002Fapi\u002Fassets\u002F5a1b9c44-e361-4428-92ae-3f1c5d75e750?width=600&height=840","Karar, H., & Kassa, S.

This is critical to understand due to the detrimental impact of corrupt practices on equality, human rights, peace, and the rule of law. A significant body of research has shown that many anticorruption initiatives do not produce the expected effect, or they achieve results that fade after the intervention ceases. Seeking to understand how to improve anticorruption outcomes, scholars have turned to causal explanations of the persistence of corruption ranging from institutional settings and individual motives to informal practices and social norms.\n\nThis article explores the intersection of social norms and corruption as a contribution to improving anticorruption programming. It explains how norms impact our conceptual understanding of corruption and the vicious cycle that exists between corrupt practices and norms. Grounded in the belief that programming and social norm diagnosis need to be contextually driven, we lay out the nascent research on changing social norms that drive corruption and the consequences of ignoring them.",[21,22],[191],"2024-04-19","\u002Fpics\u002Fimg-placeholder.png","Annual Review of Political Science",[],[420],{"url":421,"caption":422},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.annualreviews.org\u002Fcontent\u002Fjournals\u002F10.1146\u002Fannurev-polisci-051120-095535#","View article at Annual Reviews",[424,428,430],{"authors_id":425},{"id":426,"name":427},537,"Ina Kubbe",{"authors_id":429},{"id":204,"name":205},{"authors_id":431},{"id":432,"name":433},412,"Cheyanne Scharbatke-Church",[],[436],{"tags_id":437},{"id":93,"name":94},[],[36],[15],"2024-06-27T10:05:02.000Z","2026-05-23T20:04:32.000Z","\u002Fresources\u002Fpublications\u002Fcorruption-and-social-norms-new-arrow-quiver",{"id":445,"slug":446,"title":447,"status":6,"nid":448,"year":449,"body":450,"external":19,"topic":451,"language":15,"type":452,"date_published":453,"image":454,"citation":14,"publisher":17,"link_internal":455,"link_external":457,"authors":461,"countries":472,"tags":473,"pdf":478,"topics":480,"featured":19,"languages":481,"summary":7,"programme":7,"area":7,"websites":7,"pdf_text":7,"sort":7,"user_created":56,"date_created":482,"user_updated":57,"date_updated":483,"main_points":7,"short_version":7,"subtitle":7,"link":484},1761,"quick-guide-23-informal-networks-and-anti-corruption","Quick Guide 23: Informal networks and anti-corruption",2183,2022,"Why do many countries still struggle with high levels of corruption, in spite of years of investment in anti-corruption programmes and even where the right laws, rules and institutions are in place?\n\nWe believe one reason is that anti-corruption laws and policies are too often focused narrowly on individuals, rather than *networks* of individuals.\n\nIn our research, we see repeatedly how high levels of corruption are rarely the result of individual behaviour – some isolated rotten apples transgressing the formal legal order and leading others astray. Rather, corruption more frequently springs from the social norms and group dynamics of well-articulated and resilient informal networks.\n\nAnd it’s those networks that have much to lose from integrity and ethics. Their behaviour as a group entrenches corruption, and they block attempts at reforms. This quick guide takes a look at what this means and the implications for anti-corruption programming.\n\n### About this Quick Guide\n\nThis work is licensed under a \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcreativecommons.org\u002Flicenses\u002Fby-nc-nd\u002F4.0\u002F\">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License\u003C\u002Fa>.
