The authors aim to facilitate better quality projects and to build consensus on the type of governance reforms needed to fight corruption, drawing on the experience of development agencies like the World Bank and Transparency International, the leading anticorruption NGO. The paper starts by characterizing corruption vulnerabilities in infrastructure and proceeds to illustrate where communication has added value on a number of recent projects, both in respect to making the projects more sustainable and by incorporating anti-corruption measures into the project preparation and implementation phases. It draws on examples of mainly World Bank supported projects from the road, transport, power and water sectors in different governance contexts. Part of the intellectual challenge in mainstreaming development communication in the case of infrastructure is to bridge the infrastructure and communication paradigms. Finally, the paper suggests that today, from the perspective of the infrastructure practitioner and the development practitioner in general, development communication is at the same crossroads as environmentally sustainable development was in the early 1990's-but in a new context and perhaps with more urgent drivers for mainstreaming.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTABILITY MEASURESADBAIRANTI-BRIBERYANTI-CORRUPTIONANTICORRUPTIONANTICORRUPTION MEASURESANTICORRUPTION PLANSANTICORRUPTION STRATEGIESASSET DECLARATIONSAUTHORITYAUTONOMYAWARENESS OF CORRUPTIONBEST PRACTICEBID RIGGINGBIDDINGBPIBRIBEBRIBE PAYERSBRIBERYBRIBERY CONVENTIONBRIBERY OF FOREIGN PUBLIC OFFICIALSBRIBESBRIDGEBUSINESS ASSOCIATIONSCAPITAL MARKETSCENTRAL AMERICACENTRAL GOVERNMENTCITIZENSCIVIL SOCIETYCOALITIONSCOLLUSIONCOMBATING BRIBERYCOMMUNITY DRIVEN DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMMUNITY-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENTCONFIDENCECONGRESSMENCONSENSUSCORPORATE GOVERNANCECORPORATE RESPONSIBILITYCORRUPTCORRUPT ACTCORRUPT PRACTICESCORRUPTIONCORRUPTION ISSUESCORRUPTION PERCEPTIONCORRUPTION PERCEPTION INDEXCORRUPTION PREVENTIONCPICRIMINALCRISESDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION MAKERSDECISION-MAKERSDECISION-MAKINGDECISION-MAKING PROCESSDECISION-MAKING PROCESSESDEMOCRATIZATIONDIAGNOSTIC SURVEYSDISCLOSUREDRIVERSDRIVINGECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC PERFORMANCEENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONETHICSEXECUTIONFIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTIONFIGHTING CORRUPTIONFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL SUPPORTFORMAL STANDARDSFRAUDFREEDOM OF INFORMATIONGENERAL ELECTIONSGLOBAL INITIATIVESGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNANCE DIAGNOSTICSGOVERNANCE ENVIRONMENTGOVERNANCE ISSUESGOVERNANCE REFORMGOVERNANCE REFORMSGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTGOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONSGOVERNMENT OFFICIALSGOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITYGRAND CORRUPTIONHUMAN RESOURCEHUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENTIMPROVING GOVERNANCEINCOMEINDIGENOUS PEOPLESINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURE FINANCINGINFRASTRUCTURE PLANNINGINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINFRASTRUCTURE REFORMINFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADINGINFRASTRUCTURESINITIATIVEINTEGRITYINTERNATIONAL COMMUNITYINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL LEVELINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSINTERNATIONAL SUPPORTINVENTORYINVESTIGATIONSINVESTMENT CLIMATEJUDICIARYKICKBACKSLACK OF TRANSPARENCYLAWSLEADERSHIPLEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHTLEGISLATIVE REFORMLEGITIMACYLEVEL PLAYING FIELDLEVELS OF GOVERNMENTLIABILITYLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL COUNCILSLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSMDBMEDIAMERITOCRACYMINISTERMISAPPROPRIATIONMODEL LEGISLATIONMOTIVATIONSNATIONAL GOVERNANCENATIONAL GOVERNMENTSNATIONAL INTEGRITYNATIONAL POLICIESNATIONSPARLIAMENTPARLIAMENTARY VOTESPARTICIPATORY PLANNINGPATRONAGEPETTY CORRUPTIONPOLITICAL ACCOUNTABILITYPOLITICAL COMMITMENTPOLITICAL COMPETITIONPOLITICAL INFLUENCEPOLITICAL LEADERSHIPPOLITICAL PARTIESPOLITICAL RISKPOLITICIANSPOLLUTIONPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPRIVATE GAINPROCUREMENTPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC INFORMATIONPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC MANAGEMENTPUBLIC OPINIONPUBLIC PARTNERSHIPSPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR GOVERNANCEPUBLIC SECTOR MANAGEMENTPUBLIC WORKSREGULATORY FRAMEWORKSREHABILITATIONREMEDIESREPRESENTATIVESRESETTLEMENTRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRISK MANAGEMENTROADROAD EXPANSIONROAD IMPROVEMENTROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD INVESTMENTROAD MAINTENANCEROAD MANAGEMENTROAD SECTORROAD TRANSPORTROAD USERSROADSSAFETYSANCTIONSSANITATIONSAVINGSSERVICE DELIVERYSOCIAL ACTIONSOCIAL CHANGESOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURESOCIAL POLICIESSUBSIDIARYTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTUNNELUNDUE INFLUENCEVEHICLESWATER SUPPLYWHISTLE BLOWINGWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7169-5
