As conflict, instability and humanitarian needs intensify in Palestine and across the wider Middle East and North Africa, illicit financial flows quietly drain resources from the people who need them most.

In our latest blog, the Coalition for Accountability and Integrity (AMAN), our chapter in Palestine, explains how corruption continues to thrive across the region and why weak enforcement, limited data and political interference allow illicit funds to slip through the cracks

🔴 The Corruption Perceptions Index 2025 revealed that over the past decade, most countries have made little to no progress in tackling public sector corruption.

One in five people in Sub-Saharan Africa face corruption when interacting with public services, including those relating to land.

Land corruption occurs when entrusted power is abused for private gain in the administration and management of land.

The impacts of this are often felt most strongly by communities already facing unfair barriers – including those without land titles, and women or youth in rural areas.

For more than a decade, Transparency International has worked to support communities affected by land corruption through the Land and Corruption in Africa project.

In our latest blog, we explore the impact of this work in four countries – Zambia, Zimbabwe, Madagascar and Uganda – where people have been supported to better understand their rights and seek justice and redress.

🔴 Today is World Press Freedom Day.

When journalists are attacked or killed for investigating corruption, effective accountability becomes difficult, and corruption tends to worsen.

This dangerous environment is reflected in the alarming statistics since 2012, when 150 journalists have been killed outside of war zones while reporting on corruption. The majority of these victims died in countries plagued by high levels of corruption, highlighting the deadly risks faced by those who expose wrongdoing.

The Corruption Perceptions Index 2025 highlights how reporting corruption remains a challenging and sometimes risky task for many journalists.

Video description: Graph about corruption and murder of journalists. Since 2012, 150 journalists have been killed for reporting on corruption outside of war zones. Almost all of them died in countries with high levels of corruption. The graph shows red and blue figures representing journalists killed. Most figures are red (139); those are journalists killed in countries with CPI scores in the lower half. Only 11 figures are in blue, representing journalists killed in countries with the CPI score in the top half.

Corruption undermines everything you care about. ➡️ From climate action to education, inequality to health, wildlife to gender equality — every cause we fight for is weakened by corruption.

When resources meant for protecting our planet are misused, climate change accelerates. When funds for education are siphoned off, dreams are shattered. Inequality deepens when corruption steals from the poor to give to the rich. Health systems crumble, wildlife faces extinction, and gender equality remains a distant dream—all because corruption diverts resources and weakens institutions.

Let's unite and stand against corruption!
