During the month of June 2006, an online questionnaire was conducted through this website, to allow anonymous feedback on attitudes towards corruption in international construction projects. A total of 41 valid responses were received from respondents in a total of 17 countries. These contain a wealth of interesting structured data, as well as many constructive comments about what can realistically be done to address the problem in an effective manner. The results of the online survey have been combined with the results of a smaller hard copy survey conducted among government officials from Africa and Asia. Future online surveys are planned, probably on a quarterly basis, in order to continue drawing directly on the views of those most likely to understand both the true nature of, and the best ways of curbing, corruption on construction project.
