The report proposes a nine-point approach to fighting corruption in the Philippines. 1) Reducing opportunities for corruption by policy reforms and deregulations; 2) reforming campaign finance; 3) increasing public oversight; 4) reforming budget processes; 5) improving meritocracy in the civil service; 6) targeting selected departments and agencies; 7) enhancing sanctions against corruption; 8) developing partnerships with the private sector; and 9) supporting judicial reform. These initiatives, which are already underway as isolated elements, must be unified under one concerted program, a strong leadership and management structure, and a strong partnership with the private sector, civil society, donors, the congress, and judiciary.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOCORRUPTION; NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS; POLICY REFORM; DEREGULATION; BUDGET PROCESS; PRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATION; CIVIL SERVICE REFORMS; JUDICIAL REFORM; INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY; SANCTIONS; OMBUDSMEN; AID ACCOUNTABILITYANTI-CORRUPTIONANTIBRIBERY LEGISLATIONANTICORRUPTIONANTICORRUPTION CAMPAIGNANTICORRUPTION EFFORTSANTICORRUPTION STRATEGIESANTICORRUPTION STRATEGYANTICORRUPTION WORKAUDITINGAUTHORITYBRIBE PAYERSBRIBERYBRIBESBUDGET PROCESSBUDGETARY PROCESSBUREAUCRATIC CORRUPTIONBUSINESS SECTORBUSINESS TRANSACTIONSCAMPAIGN FINANCINGCAPACITY BUILDINGCITIZENCITIZENSCIVIL SERVICECIVIL SOCIETYCODES OF CONDUCTCOLLECTIVE ACTIONCOMPLAINTSCONSENSUSCONSTITUENCIESCONSULTATIONCONSULTATIONSCORPORATE GOVERNANCECORPORATE SECTORCORRUPT OFFICIALSCORRUPT PRACTICESCORRUPTIONCORRUPTION ACTSCORRUPTION IN GOVERNMENTCORRUPTION IN POLITICSCORRUPTION ISSUESCORRUPTION PERCEPTIONCORRUPTION PERCEPTION INDEXCORRUPTION PERCEPTIONSCORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEXCORRUPTION PREVENTIONCORRUPTION PROBLEMSCPICPISCRITICAL IMPORTANCEDECISION-MAKINGDEGREE OF CORRUPTIONDEMOCRACYDIAGNOSTIC SURVEYSDISCRETIONECONOMIC GOVERNANCEECONOMIC GROWTHELECTED OFFICIALSELECTED REPRESENTATIVESELECTORAL POLITICSEQUITY OBJECTIVESETHICSEXPENDITUREFIGHTING CORRUPTIONFIGURESFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL REQUIREMENTSFINANCIAL SERVICESFISCALGOOD GOVERNANCEGOOD GOVERNMENTGOVERNANCE ISSUESGOVERNANCE REFORMSGOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITYGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTSGOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONSGOVERNMENT OFFICIALSGOVERNMENT PERFORMANCEGOVERNMENT SECTORGOVERNMENT SERVICESGOVERNMENT STRATEGYGRAFTHUMAN RESOURCEHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTIMPROVING GOVERNANCEINDEPENDENT COMMISSION AGAINST CORRUPTIONINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTINSTITUTIONALIZATIONINTEGRITYINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MARKETSINVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISMJUDICIAL CORRUPTIONJUDICIAL PROCESSJUDICIAL REFORMJUDICIAL REFORMSJUDICIARYJUSTICELAW ENFORCEMENTLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHTLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL LEVELSMARKET ECONOMYMEDIAMEDIA FREEDOMMERITOCRACYNATIONAL LEVELNATIONSNATURAL RESOURCESPARTICIPATORY APPROACHPENALTIESPERCEPTIONS INDEXPERFORMANCE EVALUATIONPERFORMANCE MONITORINGPETTY CORRUPTIONPOLITICAL INTERFERENCEPOLITICAL LEADERSHIPPOVERTY REDUCTIONPREFERENTIALPRESIDENTIAL COMMISSIONSPRIORITIESPROSECUTIONPUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITYPUBLIC ACTIONPUBLIC EMPLOYMENTPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC OFFICIALSPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC RESOURCESPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC UTILITIESREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRULE OF LAWSANCTIONSSERVICE DELIVERYSOCIAL NORMSSOCIAL SERVICETAX POLICYTAXATIONTRANSPARENCYVOTINGWorld Bank10.1596/15150
