Change or the Illusion of Change: The War Against Official Corruption in Africa

Abstract

This Article explores the historical context of the fight against corruption in post-colonial Africa, examining both the early and contemporary efforts by African governments to build a corruption-free society. This article also explores the various initiatives taken at the regional, continental, and global levels by African governments to combat corruption. A critical evaluation of the African response to the problem of corruption is provided, as is a discussion on the war against official corruption in Africa, accompanied by suggestions for improving the pan-African regime against corruption.
