This paper focuses on aid and corruption, with a special concentration on corruption in aid that has been committed to poverty reduction. While for some countries aid is a dominant source of finance, in others its role relative to other resources, as well as trade and investments, is limited. The paper seeks to emphasise that development partners - aid providers and aid recipients - have a shared role and responsibility to prevent corruption from reducing aid effectiveness. It closes by presenting a first set of conclusions that could help all stakeholders ensure that their efforts in poverty reduction are not undermined by corruption
