The African Anti-Corruption Monitor released Partners for Transparency A study entitled Combating corruption between the United Nations and African Union strategiesThis study deals with the concept of corruption in the vision of many international organizations, especially the United Nations and the African Union. It also identified a set of indicators that can be relied upon in the process of measuring and defining corruption.

The study clarified the vision of the United Nations Convention against Corruption for the preventive measures that member states must take in order to limit the spread of this phenomenon. In addition, the study presented the principles on which the AU strategy is based through its agreement to prevent and combat corruption.

The study also examined the areas of intersection between the two visions, among them the emphasis on the need for the independence of the judiciary, as well as the important role of legislative authorities as well as the role of non-governmental organizations or intermediary organizations - civil society organizations - in combating corruption.

Partners Foundation recommended, through this study, the necessity of following two paths in the field of combating corruption, the first is based on setting up preventive measures and the second is based on fighting corruption and its manifestations that already exist on the ground. To combat corruption is obligatory for members, especially African countries, as the study showed that among the ten most corrupt countries in the world according to Transparency International's annual report 2020, there are five African countries, and they are South Sudan, Somalia, Sudan, Equatorial Guinea and Libya.
