GOVNET was tasked with developing a framework for more effective collective donor responses to corruption. To inform this work, the GOVNET Anti-Corruption Task Team commissioned a study of how donors have responded to corruption in practice, so as to understand better the opportunities, constraints and incentives for more effective collective responses. Case studies in Afghanistan , Indonesia and Mozambique led to a set of recommendations that will inform development of further guidance for collective donor responses. The main report synthesises these findings.

In response to growing concern, GOVNET and the DAC Fragile States Group (now the International Network on Conflict and Fragility) initiated a discussion on the key issues and challenges related to fighting corruption in fragile states. GOVNET followed-up by initiating an exploration of the complementarities between current approaches towards both statebuilding and fighting corruption in fragile states. The report identifies remaining gaps in research but concludes by outlining what an anti-corruption approach determined by a vision of statebuilding might consist of. See full report.

This report looks at the central role of state legitimacy in transforming power into authority, and providing the basis for rule by consent rather than by coercion. It specifically focuses on the challenges to state legitimacy in fragile situations: a lack of legitimacy undermines constructive relations between the state and society, and thus compounds fragility; in addition, multiple sources of legitimacy often compete and conflict, leaving the state unable to impose the ultimate rules of the game.
