Anti-corruption oriented political economic analysis in Central Asia and Eastern Europe

This work has been conducted as part of Center for International Private Enterprise’s (CIPE) Rapid Response to Opportunities for Anti-Corruption Reforms project.

The analysis aims to inform CIPE’s design and implementation of anti-corruption interventions to support local civil society groups to achieve quick policy wins pertaining to potential Russian entities/peoples evading sanctions in the Eastern Europe and Central Asian regions (specifically Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, and Kazakhstan), keep the window of opportunity open longer, and to build connections with the global anti-corruption community.

Two research methods were applied to realize the above-mentioned aim of the project: desk review (including secondary data analysis) will be the primary research method for this project, supplemented by key informant interviews.

The research refers to Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, and Kazakhstan. The final analytical report will be based on desk review (and secondary data analysis) and a maximum number of 20-28 key informant interviews (approximately 5-7 key informant interviews in each country).

Project Outputs 

• Research report on the findings, recommendations, and data generated by using the CIAD methodology within countries associated with this work (Moldova, Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Georgia);
• Critical assessment of the CIAD Methodology and training process.
