Corruption constitutes a serious threat to social and economic development, and it particularly affects people living in poverty. In poor societies and fragile states, corruption may lead to the deterioration of basic security and public services. Fighting corruption therefore means using state funding properly and contributing to combatting poverty, societal security and development – in Sweden as well as abroad.
FBA defines corruption as the misuse of trust, power or position for improper gain. Corruption encompasses, inter alia, the offering and receiving of bribes, embezzlement, bias and nepotism.
