Exposing every-day corruption in Zambia
You might have been stopped because of an alleged traffic violation, for example speeding or dangerous driving. If you are asked to make a payment without an official receipt or for you to be able to resolve the matter quickly, it is likely to be corruption.
Corruption in land governance is commonly defined as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain while carrying out the functions of land administration and land management. When land investors target countries with weak governance, the risk of corruption is high. Land corruption takes many forms such as excluding a community from participating in land deals that impact their lives.
Corruption involves asking for not only money, but also for sex in exchange of jobs, studies, good grades or access to services. This happens often to women and girls in particular. This is a form of corruption, and just because it is so common, it does not mean this is how it should be. Many women and girls struggle to speak up because of feelings of shame and guilt – but it is not their fault.
