Abstract

This book presents a contextual perspective of corruption and its impact in Africa, where 48 of the continent’s 54 nations have their Corruption Perception Index (CPI) below 50%. Although corruption is not solely an African problem, it is speedily eroding the continent’s political, social, cultural, ethical, and economic asset bases. Considering that the ten most corrupt groups and institutions in Africa are leaders, substantial liability for this disturbing trend rests primarily on their shoulders. In this book, therefore, the author makes an urgent call to leaders from all spheres in the 54 African nations to confront the challenge of corruption and redeem the continent from what has become its worst foe.

In a non-linear, non-traditional, and practical approach, this book recommends six anti-corruption solutions intended to equip African leaders and their nations to tackle corruption beyond 2030. Presented in an acrostic word “ATTIRE,” the six anti-corruption solutions are choreographed as A lliances, T eam millennials, T echnology, I nnovation culture, R eligiosity and Spirituality in the Workplace, and E thical leadership. The book presents this proposed “ATTIRE” as an appropriate tool for African leaders to put on as they endeavor to tackle corruption in the continent beyond 2030.
