When encountering corruption in public settings, how do people behave? This is a critical area for examination. - Antonia Simbine

We need to understand the behavioral aspects of corruption, including how it relates differently to men and women.

Our research thus far provides us with some understanding of why traditional approaches to stemming corrupt practices, including detection-based technical fixes, investigation, prosecution and sanctions have recorded little success. We now understand corruption to be a complex-adaptive problem, hence our leaning towards behavioural solutions.

The Gender and Equal Opportunities Bill serves as a legislative vehicle to drive the agenda for a more inclusive society. Gender inequality is a major hindrance to our progress, affecting not only democracy but also our socioeconomic growth, which should be the ultimate goal of any democratic system.
