Southern Africa: Launch of Southern African Information Portal on Corruption (IPOC)

This portal, launched by the Institute of Security Studies, provides Anti-Corruption practitioners (in government and the private sector), researchers, policy makers and civil society activists - concerned with combating corruption in Southern Africa - with 'an entry point' into anti-corruption activities in the region. Civil society anti-corruption organisations signalled the need for such a portal as far back as 2002 in a meeting in Zimbabwe and the ISS Cape Town Anti-Corruption project is attempting to meet this demand by broadening the scope of the document database previously made available on the ISS website.
