South Africa needs a single anti-corruption unit and real-time monitoring

Abstract

Small-to-medium enterprises are an engine for economic growth in developing countries. They are, however, also disproportionately affected by state corruption. At a recent webinar co-hosted by the HSRC, delegates from the South Korean embassy and the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies shared lessons from their thriving SME sector and related the country's experiences in tackling corruption. Local researchers explored possible parallel solutions to corrupt procurement processes in South Africa.
