March 18, 2024 - Ecuador has made significant strides in its fight against corruption, according to a recent evaluation report on the Rapid Response Opportunities for Anti-Corruption (RRAP) project implemented between May and September 2023.

Key Outcomes of the RRAP Project

The assessment, conducted by G|Exponencial for the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), evaluated three key outcomes of the RRAP project:

  • Mobilizing Civil Society and the Private Sector: The program successfully brought together civil society and the private sector to drive positive change, with numerous organizations and businesses actively participating in anti-corruption efforts.
  • Reforms: The evaluation found that the project contributed to the adoption of several significant changes aimed at reducing corruption. These included new regulations and policies designed to increase transparency and accountability within government institutions.
  • Reducing Incentives for Corruption: The RRAP project led to a reduction in incentives for corruption, as more citizens became aware of the negative impacts of corrupt practices and were empowered to take action against them.

Evaluation Findings

The assessment found that the program was successful in achieving its objectives. The report concludes that these outcomes provide valuable insights for future anti-corruption initiatives in Ecuador.
