Global Program on Anticorruption for Development: Data and Analytics

Global Program on Anticorruption for Development

Anticorruption Lab

ŷ��b��Ƭ��s anticorruption program is supporting innovations that take advantage of the growing availability of data to develop a stronger evidence base for anticorruption reform. This includes initiatives to deepen our understanding of corruption risks, advance the use of technology to reduce corruption in public expenditures and service delivery, and promote accountability through data platforms and analytics. Working with academic and development partners is at the heart of these efforts, to help scale up innovations and impact at the global level and through our country programming.

With support from the KDI School of Public Policy and Management (KDI School), the program on Data Analytics for Anticorruption in Public Administration (DAAPA) sought to enhance the analysis and measurement of corruption risks and inform the World Bank's technical assistance in developing and implementing data driven solutions and evidence-based policies for controlling corruption. The Symposium brought together researchers working to advance anticorruption data analytics to help inform more effective policies and actions by governments for greater accountability in public administration.

More Information

The platform (ProACT) provides access to national public procurement data for 46 countries and to contracts from the World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank for over 100 countries from 2008 to 2020. Currently a prototype, the platform enables comparative and country-focused analysis of procurement contracts, buyers, suppliers and markets, and includes risk indicators that assess the integrity and transparency of these procurement processes for over 120 million contracts.

Advanced Data Analytics for Detecting Fraud, Corruption, and Collusion in Public Expenditures

ŷ��b��Ƭ developed the Governance Risk Assessment System (GRAS), a tool that uses advanced data analytics to improve the detection of risks of fraud, corruption, and collusion in government contracting. GRAS increases the efficiency and effectiveness of audits and investigations by identifying a wide range of risk patterns.

The Global Public Procurement Database aims to promote procurement reform and innovation by improved transparency and knowledge-sharing. The goal is to capture diagnostic procurement related information that is expected to form a common, worldwide standard for collecting and sharing information on public procurement focusing on governance, operations, systems and results per country. Provide substantial contribution for country procurement reforms and eProcurement implementations in order to increase development outcomes, and create appropriate channels for information dissemination and knowledge sharing, facilitating synergies between existing procurement communities.

Making Public Data Count
This report is part of a collection examining how analytics using government microdata is revolutionizing public administration throughout the world. Its focus is on government analytics in the European Union. The collection is based on "The Government Analytics Handbook", a comprehensive guide to using data to understand and improve government. The reports in this collection aim to help public servants apply lessons from the Handbook to their own administrations by describing the unique opportunities and challenges for government analytics that arise in different regions.
The DIME Analytics Data Handbook
Development Research in Practice leads the reader through a complete empirical research project, providing links to continuously updated resources on the DIME Wiki as well as illustrative examples from the Demand for Safe Spaces study. The handbook is intended to train users of development data how to handle data effectively, efficiently, and ethically.

The Government Analytics Handbook presents frontier evidence and practitioner insights on how to leverage data to make governments work better.
