Our failure to collectively respond to this challenge stands to impact the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sustainable_Development_Goals\">2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development<\/a>. We must push for greater transparency and accountability from the government and businesses, support and enable good governance, demand high ethical standards from officials and protect the whistle blowers. By working side by side, we can support governments in implementing anti-graft legislations and policies, enhance the governance systems, encourage corporates to embrace ethical and transparent business practices, urge criminal justice institutions to bring in meaningful reforms: in essence, spearhead a global revolution in minds towards justice, transparency and honesty.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content-list-component bn-content-list-text yr-content-list-text text\" data-beacon=\"{\" data-beacon-parsed=\"true\" data-rapid-cpos=\"19\" data-rapid-subsec=\"paragraph\" data-rapid-parsed=\"subsec\">\n<p>Mr. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Iqbal_Mahmood\">Iqbal Mahmood<\/a>, Chairman, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anti-Corruption_Commission_(Bangladesh)\">Anti-Corruption Commission (Bangladesh)<\/a>\u00a0provided an overview of the impact of corruption in Bangladesh: \u201cCorruption is one of dominant factors for which country like Bangladesh is still ranked at the bottom among countries surveyed on \u2018Ease of doing Business\u2019.

Corruption is now endemic in many spheres of life, affecting businesses, education, governance, criminal justice, public welfare and healthcare, among others. No country or region is free from this crime. And the common citizens, especially the poor, are forced to pay the biggest price for corruption.
