Africa's first anti-corruption studies and research center was launched in Nairobi, Kenya, on Wednesday, marking a major milestone in the continent's efforts to strengthen research, policy development and regional cooperation in the fight against corruption.
The launch was done during the 8th annual General Assembly of the African Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities, currently underway in the Kenyan capital, as leaders called for a shift beyond stronger laws and enforcement toward research, innovation and knowledge sharing in the fight against corruption.
The meeting brought together 43 African countries heads of anti-corruption agencies from across the continent.
