Iraq: overview of corruption and anti-corruption

Although Iraq's anti-corruption initiatives and framework have expanded since 2005, they still fail to provide a strong and comprehensive integrity system.

Ensuring the integrity of the management of Iraq’s massive and growing oil revenue will therefore be one of the country’s greatest challenges in the coming years.
