Corruption can take over a government when officials are unaccountable, leading to abuse of power and bribery, undermining justice systems and public services.
Of the 180 countries ranked by the CPI, only 28 have improved their corruption levels over the last 12 years, while 34 countries have worsened significantly.
The Corruption Perception Index shows that more than two-thirds of countries score below 50, highlighting serious corruption issues, with the global average stagnating at 43.
Among the 45 most corrupt countries, 22 are located in the vast sub-Saharan region of Africa, indicating a troubling trend in governance and public trust.
