This guide is a high-level "how-to" for carrying out a corruption risk assessment in a conservation law enforcement context, using the Map, Characterize, Assess, and Recommend (MCAR) approach designed by the Basel Institute on Governance. The first section covers planning: the resources, timing, and other considerations for setting up the assessment. The second section lays out each step of the assessment, with tips, basic instructions, and implementation recommendations for each stage. Finally, the annexes provide sample supporting materials, including a simplified process diagram and map, a sample questionnaire for interviews, and a basic confidentiality agreement.

This TNRC Guide shares practical knowledge for program designers and implementers to reduce corruption‚'s impact on conservation.

A corruption-oriented situation analysis can help conservation and natural resource management (NRM) practitioners understand and respond to the threats that corruption poses to conservation and NRM outcomes. As part of the Targeting Natural Resource Corruption (TNRC) project, WWF teams in different countries conducted situation analyses to inform both small-scale pilot projects and large-scale investments, in each case aiming to get a better idea of the ways that corruption may impact NRM activities and how they could design projects that would respond more effectively to those threats. Part I of this guide collects lessons from their experience and provides insights on implementing this type of analysis. Part II shares three case studies and analysis tools for doing corruption-oriented situation analysis.

These slides share key learning from new evidence research under the Targeting Natural Resource Corruption (TNRC) project. This three-country research was designed and conducted by the U4 Anti-Corruption Resource Centre . The findings were presented in a webinar hosted by U4 in February 2023. That discussion was introduced by Peter Evans (U4), moderated by Kyle Rearick (USAID) and featured Aled Williams, the research leader, and Achiba Gargule from U4. Further information on the recommendations below can be found in the TNRC paper, Pathways for targeting renewable resource corruption: A summary of evidence.
