The primer of UNDP on corruption and development consists of four chapters, all highlighting the importance of anti-corruption measures. In the first chapter issues and dimensions of corruption are highlighted. In the second chapter we find the core of this primer: the relationship between corruption and development. The third chapter, then, focuses on UNDP mandates and its approach to anti-corruption. The fourth and last chapter draws attention to programming anti-corruption interventions. The primer builds on research on emerging issues as well as on internal knowledge mapping and case studies.
