Book Description
Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Sociology - Work, Education, Organisation, , language: English, abstract: The desideratum of this discourse was to unpack the nexus of good governance, effective procurement and prevention of corruption at workplace. Money can corrupt the virtuous. Efficient public procurement is key to enhancing state portfolio in infrastructure, health, education and other public services, making it central to state efforts to enhance living standard. Efficient public procurement has a nexus with good governance. The questionnaire method was considered appropriate to collect and analyse data from the respondents. Different questionnaire and interviews were administered to every respondent. Collusion and corruption are distinct challenges within public procurement, yet they may regularly occur in tandem and have mutually added fuel to the fire impact. A good example of collusion and corruption is the alleged chain effect of the Fish rot scandal in Namibia. They are optimally perceived, therefore, as concomitant threats to the integrity of public procurement. Efficient public procurement is key to enhancing state portfolio in infrastructure, health, education and other public services, making it central to state efforts to enhance living-standards. Efficient public procurement has a nexus with good governance. However, state procurement in developing states is often plagued by high rates of corruption and waste. The public procurement process is governed by public procurement laws and regulations in all states and differs from one state to another. In South Africa, public procurement is enshrined in Section 217 and 33 of the constitution of the country. COMESA has developed a model strategy for public procurement reform to standardise procurement and tendering process which are done within the stock market.

Book Description
Corruption... How can policymakers and practitioners better comprehend the many forms and shapes that this socialpandemic takes? From the delivery of essential drugs, the reduction in teacher absenteeism, the containment of illegal logging, the construction of roads, the provision of water andelectricity, the international trade in oil and gas, the conduct of public budgeting and procurement, and the management of public revenues, corruption shows its many faces. 'The Many Faces of Corruption' attempts to bring greater clarity to the often murky manifestations of this virulent and debilitating social disease. It explores the use of prototype road maps to identify corruption vulnerabilities, suggests corresponding 'warning signals,' and proposes operationally useful remedial measures in each of several selected sectors and for a selected sampleof cross cutting public sector functions that are particularlyprone to corruption and that are critical to sector performance.Numerous technical experts have come together in this effort to develop an operationally useful approach to diagnosing and tackling corruption. 'The Many Faces of Corruption' is an invaluable reference for policymakers, practitioners, andresearchers engaged in the business of development.

Public Procurement and Human Rights
Author: Olga Martin-Ortega
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 1788116313
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
This timely work reflects on the role and obligations of the state as a buyer of goods and services, from the dual disciplinary perspectives of public procurement and human rights. Through theoretical and doctrinal analyses, and practice-focused case studies, it interrogates the evolving character of public procurement as an interface for multiple normative regimes and competing policies. Challenging the prevailing paradigm which subordinates human rights to narrowly-defined economic goals, insightful contributions advance a compelling case for greater inter-disciplinarity and policy coherence as crucial to realising international policies such as those embodied in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

Global Corruption Report: Sport
Author: Transparency International
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317443748
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
Sport is a global phenomenon engaging billions of people and generating annual revenues of more than US$ 145 billion. Problems in the governance of sports organisations, fixing of matches and staging of major sporting events have spurred action on many fronts. Yet attempts to stop corruption in sport are still at an early stage. The Global Corruption Report (GCR) on sport is the most comprehensive analysis of sports corruption to date. It consists of more than 60 contributions from leading experts in the fields of corruption and sport, from sports organisations, governments, multilateral institutions, sponsors, athletes, supporters, academia and the wider anti-corruption movement. This GCR provides essential analysis for understanding the corruption risks in sport, focusing on sports governance, the business of sport, planning of major events, and match-fixing. It highlights the significant work that has already been done and presents new approaches to strengthening integrity in sport. In addition to measuring transparency and accountability, the GCR gives priority to participation, from sponsors to athletes to supporters an essential to restoring trust in sport.

Gender and Corruption
Author: Helena Stensöta
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319709291
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
The link between gender and corruption has been studied since the late 1990s. Debates have been heated and scholars accused of bringing forward stereotypical beliefs about women as the “fair” sex. Policy proposals for bringing more women to office have been criticized for promoting unrealistic quick-fix solutions to deeply rooted problems. This edited volume advances the knowledge surrounding the link between gender and corruption by including studies where the historical roots of corruption are linked to gender and by contextualizing the exploration of relationships, for example by distinguishing between democracies versus authoritarian states and between the electoral arena versus the administrative branch of government—the bureaucracy. Taken together, the chapters display nuances and fine-grained understandings. The book highlights that gender equality processes, rather than the exclusionary categories of “women” and “men”, should be at the forefront of analysis, and that developments strengthening the position of women vis-à-vis men affect the quality of government.

Securing Development
Author: Bernard Harborne
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 1464807671
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
Securing Development: Public Finance and the Security Sector highlights the role of public finance in the delivery of security and criminal justice services. This book offers a framework for analyzing public financial management, financial transparency, and oversight, as well as expenditure policy issues that determine how to most appropriately manage security and justice services. The interplay among security, justice, and public finance is still a relatively unexplored area of development. Such a perspective can help security actors provide more professional, effective, and efficient security and justice services for citizens, while also strengthening systems for accountability. The book is the result of a project undertaken jointly by staff from the World Bank and the United Nations, integrating the disciplines where each institution holds a comparative advantage and a core mandate. The primary audience includes government officials bearing both security and financial responsibilities, staff of international organizations working on public expenditure management and security sector issues, academics, and development practitioners working in an advisory capacity.
