Abstract:
Advancing country-level corruption measurement requires moving from fragmented, perception-heavy data to coordinated, high-quality, multi-source statistical systems that are embedded in national institutions and used for real policy decisions. This webinar examines how countries are putting the UNODC Statistical Framework to measure corruption into practice, using it to build coordinated national data ecosystems and robust information systems that go beyond perception-based indicators to produce direct, indirect, and contextual measures for evidence-based anti-corruption policies. National ownership of standardised corruption statistics is extremely valuable for strengthening public trust, attracting investment, tracking progress on Sustainable Development Goal 16, and turning measurement into concrete anti-corruption action.
International efforts to make corruption measurable

Abstract: Building smarter, better-coordinated data ecosystems requires a comprehensive foundation for measuring corruption. These ecosystems must be robust enough to produce actionable evidence that informs, monitors, and assesses anti-corruption efforts. The UNODC statistical framework for measuring corruption provides harmonised concepts and methodologies to institutionalize corruption statistics. This framework advocates for a coordinated approach among relevant stakeholders, ensuring that data is systematically collected, analysed, and disseminated to monitor policies and report progress.
