The report draws on the collective experts of staff across the World Bank to develop ways for enhancing the effectiveness of anti-corruption strategies in selected sectors and through targeted policy instruments. 

It covers issues, challenges and trends in five key thematic areas: Public Procurement; Public Infrastructure; State Owned Enterprises; Customs Administration; and Delivery of Services in selected sectors. 

Corruption continues to have a disproportionate impact on the poor and most vulnerable, increasing the cost of, and reducing access to, health, education, justice, electricity and other basic services, thereby exacerbating inequality. It reduces private investment as it increases risks for investors, with consequent effects on growth and jobs. It distorts public spending decisions and weakens the quality of public investments as substandard infrastructure gets built and the regulatory systems for quality control and safety are bypassed.

The platform offers an ecosystem of tools and resources comprising a digital toolkit, e-learning opportunities, company self-assessments, and a wealth of information to navigate the fast-evolving sustainability reporting landscape. 

The toolkit draws on IFC's emerging markets investment experience and integrates its Environmental and Social Sustainability Performance Standards and Corporate Governance Methodology.

IDFC was set up in 1997 by the Government of India along with various Indian banks and financial institutions and IFIs.

1. Enhanced disclosure provisions

2. Civil society oversight
