PB17 Do anticorruption messages work? Emerging findings and their relevance for Papua New Guinea

Development Policy Centre Policy Brief No. 17

By Caryn Peiffer

January 2017

Most anticorruption programs now include awareness raising about corruption and about efforts to tackle it, but there is little evidence available to tell us how effective these messages are. This brief summarises what we know from research so far, and discusses the potential impact of anticorruption messages in Papua New Guinea (PNG). This policy brief was jointly published with the Developmental Leadership Program.
