AB - Is anti-corruption important to public administration reform? Or is public
administration reform important for the fight against corruption? How are
anti-corruption and public administration reform inter-linked? How can public
administration reform areas be prioritized in order to push up anti-corruption
agenda? How to prioritize and sequence reform/strategies in these two broad
and complex policy areas? This paper aims to provide initial approximations on
how to answer these questions. Considering corruption as a symptom of
outcomes of unresolved governance and public administration, this paper argues that public administration reform and anti-corruption cannot be treated as separate processes on their own. The paper discusses the importance of data collection and highlights how some APEC economies have managed to improve both public administration and anti-corruption by way of collecting data. In addition, the fight against corruption does not happen in a vacuum and needs to be tailored down to country specifics. Therefore while public administration reform and anti-corruption are mutually reinforcing each other, attention should be paid to levels and degrees.
