Corruption refers to the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. It involves unethical or illegal behavior by individuals in positions of authority or power, which can undermine trust in institutions and harm economic and social development. Corruption can take various forms, including bribery, embezzlement, graft, nepotism, and favoritism. It often results in the misallocation of resources, reduced efficiency of services, and increased inequality. Corruption can occur in both public and private sectors and can have profound effects on governance, rule of law, and public trust. It is generally regarded as a significant obstacle to achieving sustainable development and democratic governance. Reducing corruption involves implementing transparency measures, promoting accountability, and establishing legal frameworks to deter such practices.
