  1. WHO ARE WE? Corruption Watch is a non-profit organisation that was launched in January 2012. We rely on the public to report corruption to us and we use these reports as an important source of information to fight corruption and hold leaders accountable. Corruption Watch defines corruption as the abuse of public resources to enrich or give unfair advantage to individuals, their family or their friends. We are concerned with any such abuse of power or position by anyone at any level of government or in business.

  2. OUR MISSION

  3. THE CORRUPTION WATCH SYSTEM

  4. THE CORRUPTION WATCH SYSTEM COMMUNICATION CW provides a platform for reporting corruption. Anyone can safely share what they experience and observe and can speak out against corruption. Our communication platform includes our website, an SMS line, social media, email or post. We work with mainstream and community media to make sure that corruption is fully exposed. INVESTIGATION We investigate selected reports of alleged acts of corruption, choosing cases that have the most serious impact on our society. We hand over our findings to the authorities to take further action, and we monitor the progress of each case. RESEARCH We gather and analyse information to identify patterns and hot spots of corruption. We prepare research reports on these hot spots in order to expose and find solutions to systemic corruption. ADVOCACY Webuild campaigns that mobilise people to take a stand against corruption. Our campaigns involve the public, community groups, and other organisations such as trade unions
