“…Due to the consequences of corruption in developing countries, the academic literature includes many studies that provide evidence of the causal relationship between corruption and poverty. Oliveira et al (2022), for instance, investigated this causality for eight South American countries and verified its existence. Bayar et al (2017) examined this relationship for 10 European countries and found that corruption causes extreme poverty.…”

This summative evaluation's objective is to evaluate the degree to which Jordan's National Anti‐corruption Strategy (JNACS) effectively and sustainably achieves its objectives in the war against corruption, with particular reference to the Anti‐corruption Commission (JACC). This evaluation analyzes certain indicators and methods used to combat corruption in the public service. This evaluation considers the before and after approach. Pre‐implementation and post‐implementation periods were compared using trend analysis to show the difference between pre‐implementation and post‐implementation of JNACS from 2013 to 2017. A line chart and interrupted time series were used to display trends over time, and the Wilcoxon signed test was utilized. Our summative evaluation findings are mainly structured by the evaluation criteria of effectiveness, efficiency, and relevance. These findings illustrate the difficulty and challenge of making progress in the war against corruption in Jordan. This evaluation has indicated that JNACS (2013–2017) was ineffective in strengthening the capacity of the JACC; promoting investigation, prosecution, and court proceedings of corruption; and enhancing international cooperation in the anti‐corruption field. The task of this agency is challenging due to the broad definition of corruption and the increasing demand for its services within a very complicated operational environment. As a result, our summative evaluation makes some policy recommendations after numerous arguments regarding the subject matter.

This research paper examines the efficacy of the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Offences (DCEO) in combating corruption within Lesotho, while also attempting to establish a correlation with the prevailing poverty conditions in the nation. The investigation was structured around three distinct objectives that facilitated the formulation of pertinent research inquiries. The methodology employed comprised desk reviews designed to identify, validate, and analyze both qualitative and quantitative data sourced from secondary literature to evaluate the operational performance of the DCEO in relation to case load management and successful prosecutions. Data collection was conducted through secondary sources, with subsequent analysis being performed utilizing content analysis techniques, and the results were articulated through thematic organization and narrative presentation. The findings reveal that legal and institutional elements, including the DCEO's autonomy and legal mandate, significantly enhance its capacity to combat corruption in Lesotho. Moreover, various obstacles confronting the organization encompass political interference, limited financial resources, and challenges related to human resources. In light of these findings, it is posited that a systematic reform of the DCEO's operational framework is imperative for advancing its efforts against corruption in Lesotho. This paper further proffers recommendations for the government to make substantial investments in supporting the DCEO to enhance its operational efficiency and effectiveness, along with the removal of any encroachments that impede its performance.
