| - Corruption in Guinea-Bissau occurs at among the highest levels in the world. In Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index for 2014, it was ranked 161st out of 175 countries. The previous year, it was at 163rd out of 177 countries. This marked a decline from its 2012 ranking, 150th out of 174 countries. In 2013, Guinea-Bissau scored below the averages for both Africa and West Africa on the Mo Ibrahim Foundation’s Index of African Governance. The Heritage Foundation stated that corruption is characteristic of the Bissau-Guinean government and economy. Government mismanagement in Guinea-Bissau, according to Transparency International's 2014 report on the country, has “created an environment conducive to corruption on a grand scale.” There is a culture of impunity, and citizens have no right to access information. Much of the corruption in Guinea-Bissau is related to the fact that the country is a hub of international drug trafficking. “Abject poverty, state collapse, lack of means and endemic corruption,” states one source, “have made Guinea Bissau a heaven for the Colombian drug lords.” (en)
