Rampant corruption pervades many institutions in the Former Soviet Union. All too often, low expectations of public servants within the citizenry, and poor education of those citizens of their legal rights are a significant contributing factor to the ongoing problem. Advocates in Armenia, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan and elsewhere in Eurasia are using IATP’s technological resources to address these issues with innovative educational outreach projects. In April alone, students in Kyrgyzstan developed an informational campaign against corruption in schools, discussed strategies for reducing its incidence in Kazakhstan, and shared the results and effectiveness of anti-corruption campaigns in Armenia. Corruption is yet another issue common to all Former Soviet countries, where technology can play a role by uniting advocates, increasing their effectiveness with pooled knowledge and resources.
