I Paid A Bribe | Public Institutions

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

This is a, virtual and interactive platform for harnessing the collective energy of citizens in fighting corruption. The platform is intended to foster the implementation of the whistle blowers Act of 2010 as an alternative and safe way to report corruption. Using this platform, citizens can safely report the nature, number, pattern, types, location, frequency and values of actual corrupt acts via mobile apps, web services or calls. First launched in India in 2010, the I paid a bribe website is also used in India (http://www.ipaidabribe.com/)
