Corruption

Corruption refers to the abuse of power or position for personal gain, often involving unethical or illegal actions. It can occur in various forms, including bribery, embezzlement, fraud, favoritism, and nepotism. Corruption undermines trust in institutions, distorts markets, and hampers economic development. It can take place in both public and private sectors, affecting governments, businesses, and non-profit organizations. Corruption often leads to a lack of accountability and transparency, resulting in the misallocation of resources and perpetuating inequality. Addressing corruption involves implementing effective governance, promoting transparency, and fostering a culture of integrity to enhance public confidence and ensure fair opportunities for all individuals.
