Samuel Rotta Castilla (2008). Corruption-free Education. Lessons from a State- and Civil Society Joint Initiative in Peru. Bergen: Chr. Michelsen Institute (U4 Brief 2008:6)

A recent anti-corruption initiative targeting Peru's education sector was undertaken jointly by the Office of the Ombudsman and Transparency International's chapter in Peru, Proética. The initiative sought to help shape the public discussion surrounding educational reform by introducing the issue of corruption - one of several factors undermining the fundamental right of all to quality education. This U4 Brief reviews the initiative's methodology, findings, and lessons learned, including an overview of successful advocacy efforts targeting national educational authorities.
