COMPENDIUM ON LESSONS LEARNED AND BEST PRACTICES FROM NIGERIA’S ANTI-CORRUPTION EFFORTS: 2015 TO 2023

Abstract

Curbing corruption requires a clear understanding of the drivers, enablers, and opportunities that sustain it. By identifying these challenges, it becomes possible to design solutions that address systemic weaknesses and drive meaningful change. Drawing from past experiences—both successes and setbacks—provides a foundation for developing more effective and sustainable strategies.

This Compendium responds to the pressing need to close the knowledge gap by documenting and distilling key lessons learned, best practices, and insights from Nigeria’s anti-corruption efforts between 2015 and 2023. It marks a critical milestone in consolidating knowledge and offering practical recommendations. The findings presented serve as a valuable resource for policymakers, practitioners, civil society organizations, and citizens, charting a roadmap for future reforms while equipping stakeholders with actionable strategies to tackle complex governance and accountability challenges.
