Show full item recordAfrica has recently embraced two very important transformational agendas the 2030 Agenda, which aims to leave no one behind, and Agenda 2063, at the global and regional levels, respectively. Successful implementation of these agendas requires substantial financial resources, most of which must necessarily be mobilized from within the continent. The continent cannot afford to continue to suffer from the kinds of financial leakages it has had to contend with over the past several years through various forms of corrupt acts and practices. Placing the fight against corruption at the top of the agenda of our continental organization is a step in the right direction, considering that nearly half of the population on the continent believes that our Governments have either failed or been unable to properly address the complex and wide ranging impacts of corruption on resource mobilization, resource allocation and development outcomes on the continent.
