The Partners for Transparency Foundation presented its report for the month of May, in the context of the follow-up and interest of the Corruption Observatory in Africa Unit on issues of good governance, combating corruption and illegal practices on the continent, in light of its attempts to promote the values of integrity and transparency in African countries in general.

During this report, which included 29 countries in the five regions of the continent, it was found that the issues of elections, their integrity and accountability for the peaceful transfer of power came first during this month, which reflects beyond any doubt the necessity of providing the primary element in the context of attempts to combat corruption not It is the political desire of the ruling elites to do so.

The police, electricity and sports sectors continued to be among the sectors that witnessed illegal practices during the month. The financial transactions, contracts and fraud sector were among the sectors that needed to review the reasons that contribute to the persistence of corruption in this field.

Despite the above, there are a number of models that emerged during this month, including what was announced by the State of Togo, which announced the start of preparing a strategy to combat corruption at the national level, in addition to the efforts of countries such as Kenya and Algeria to recover the money that was earned as a result illegal practices.

Partners for Transparency has recommended a number of recommendations through this report, including the following:-

First: The need for civil society organizations to pressure elites to adopt effective policies in the context of combating corruption

Second: The need to reconsider the sports sector as one of the areas of investment that can contribute to increasing state revenues, and therefore illegal practices in it must be addressed.

Third: The necessity of reconsidering the policies of wage distribution and raising the minimum wage in proportion to inflation rates.
