Hosts Stuart and William, mark International Anti Corruption Day, in this bonus episode for you of The People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast.
Corruption affects all areas of society. Preventing corruption, unlocks progress towards the sustainable development goals, helps protect our planet, creates jobs, achieves gender equality, and secures wider access to essential services, such as healthcare and education.
While it is everyone’s right to benefit from strong anti-corruption efforts, misconduct and wrongdoing is stealing away valuable resources, at a time when they are most needed to respond to, and recover from the COVID-19 crisis.
The 2021 International Anti-Corruption Day seeks to highlight the rights and responsibilities of everyone - including States, Government officials, civil servants, law enforcement officers, media representatives, the private sector, civil society, academia, the public and youth - in tackling corruption.
