  • This TNRC resource provides insights into how red tape, a common issue that generates corruption risks in the fisheries sector and beyond, can be addressed not only by simplifying rules and procedures but also by incorporating strategic insights to help change the attitudes and behaviors of target groups.

    This series of four guides offers practical guidance on the potential applications of behavioral science toward enhancing anti-corruption and conservation efforts. It is Part 2 of a four-part series.

  • This resource discusses the challenge of corruption affecting front-line wildlife defenders, namely rangers, through a social norms and behavior change (SNBC) lens. The goal is to enhance understanding of the diverse drivers of corruption among these actors and to suggest concrete SNBC approaches to address this type of corruption.

  • A key area of opportunity in the plastic pollution treaty is the promotion of reuse, and particularly a transition from single-use to reusable products. Reuse has the potential to reduce material use (as one item can substitute for multiple single-use items) and the leakage of material into the environment (both by placing fewer longer-life items into circulation, and directly incentivizing the responsible return of those items into reuse systems). It also offers additional environmental co-benefits, most notably in terms of potential emissions savings. Identifying the most promising reuse applications and the ways in which a global treaty can facilitate positive systemic change is the purpose of this report

  • This collection of advice is derived from the experience of WWF Ecuador in assessing corruption risks in the mahi-mahi production chain. WWF Ecuador, with support from USAID within the framework of the Strengthen Natural Resources Governance in Ecuador program, adapted the international standard ISO31000 risk assessment methodology and produced an internal guide to identify and assess risks. The Ecuador guide is similar to the "Methodological Guide for Corruption Risk Diagnostics in Fisheries Value Chains" developed by WWF Peru with support from the Targeting Natural Resource Corruption (TNRC) project. TNRC summarized and adapted the Peru guide for general use.

    This resource complements the Peru guide, focusing on practical advice corresponding to each phase of the risk diagnosis process. With both resources, users can adapt and apply the ISO31000 methodology to their own needs, in other fisheries value chains or even other natural resource sectors.

  • This model results chain illustrates how conservation and natural resource management practitioners could integrate transparency, accountability, and other open governance initiatives into a standard market-based incentive program. However, like any model, it is only a starting point, and it must be adapted to the specific context and objectives of a given activity. Not all of these factors will be applicable or feasible for all market-based initiatives, and all require careful adaptation and integration.

  • This model results chain illustrates how conservation and natural resource management practitioners could leverage social norms and behavior change (SNBC) for anti-corruption. Like any model, however, it is only a starting point. The factors in this chain can be adapted and integrated into a conservation activity, or they could be used as one strategy targeting a corruption norm that threatens a targeted conservation outcome.

  • This model results chain illustrates how conservation and natural resource management practitioners could integrate anti-corruption into their traceability or other supply chain initiatives. However, like any model, it is only a starting point, and it should not be used "as is." Not every factor will be applicable or feasible for all traceability initiatives, and all require careful adaptation and integration into the specific strategy or activity that is being designed.
