How Corruption Undermines Sustainable Development, Human Rights, and Social Stability

In an increasingly interconnected and rapidly changing world, integrity has become a cornerstone of sustainable development. Corruption, governance weaknesses, and lack of transparency not only hinder economic growth, but also erode public trust, exacerbate inequalities, and limit opportunities for future generations.

As the Vice President of Integrity at the World Bank Group, Mouhamadou Diagne oversees investigations of alleged fraud and corruption involving World Bank Group-financed projects and activities, staff, and corporate vendors. The Integrity Vice Presidency also pursues and litigates sanctions for credible allegations, introduces best practices to prevent fraud and corruption in World Bank Group operations, and helps to raise compliance standards among private sector entities.
