Description

Reliable data are essential for effective law enforcement against corruption, yet collecting, managing, and using high-quality, comprehensive, and coherent enforcement data remains a major challenge. While most countries collect law enforcement statistics, data fragmentation, differences in definitions, methods, and reporting practices create significant bottlenecks to evidence-based decision-making. Highlighting recent data on foreign bribery cases from the OECD Working Group on Bribery, this session will explore how law enforcement data can be used to inform policy choices and strengthen anti-corruption response. Participants will discuss practical challenges and opportunities in improving data quality, coherence, and comparability, with a view to more effectively supporting decision-making, accountability, and international cooperation.
