- The nation of Botswana has been ranked as one of the least corrupt countries in Africa by many large, well-known international organizations. However, corruption is not eradicated, and can still be seen in a wide majority of different governmental sectors and in differing forms. To combat this corruption, Botswana has passed many legal acts and policies with the aim of stopping its growth. The 2021 Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index gave Botswana a corruption perceptions index score of 55, where 100 is the most clean and 0 is the most corrupt. Botswana was the 45th country on a list of 180 countries, ranked by the perception of the corruption of their public sector from least corrupt to most corrupt. Botswana has the third highest score in Africa, after Seychelles, which has a score of 70, and Cabo Verde, which has a score of 58. Another international organization, the Business Anti-Corruption Portal, ranked Botswana as moderate in regards to the amount of corruption seen in the country. The Business Anti-Corruption Portal continued on, stating that multiple government sectors, such as the Judicial services, Police, Legislation, Public services, Tax Administration and Public Procurement all see varying risks of corruption. In the Global Competitiveness Report conducted in the years of 2011 and 2012, it was reported that corruption in Botswana is one of the most problematic factors when it comes to doing business in the country.
