Anti-corruption good practices:
our interactive dashboard
The main inspiration for the collection and identification of the anti-corruption practices has been the Handbook of good practices in the fight against corruption of the European Commission. This Handbook has been the cornerstone in setting forth a robust methodology for identifying and analysing anti-corruption good practices in the EU Member States. The practices from the Handbook are complemented by new anti-corruption practices identified in the EU Rule of Law Reports since 2024 and OECD Public Integrity Indicators.
Impact assessment. The cases from the Handbook of good practices are based on the LRCC’s analysis of the impact on specific problem-solving through an anti-corruption practice in a country. Those cover one practice per EU member state since 2015.
International standards assessment. The selection of complementary practices as “good” is based on the Rule of Law (RoL) reports and the OECD Public Integrity Indicators (OECD PII). The RoL reports highlight “significant progress” in some countries, and the OECD identifies best performers on PII criteria. Only the cases that are cross-checked between the OECD PII and the Rule of Law reports and show overall positive dynamics (e.g. the practice is not disrupted and the overall system is favourable for reaching positive outcomes) were selected.
Innovations. Some anti-corruption practices were highlighted as “innovations” (mainly technological) by the LRCCs or through the OECD Observatory of Public Sector Innovations (OPSI), although their impact assessment is not yet possible.
Timeliness of the practice. New practices introduced, implemented or revised from 2020 onwards were considered, ensuring that the examples reflect recent and ongoing efforts.
Nature of the initiatives. The focus was placed primarily on governmental initiatives, as these represent formal and systemic approaches to promoting integrity and combating corruption.
