Hvernig afhjúpa má spillingu

Systematic corruption, enabled by weak governance and collusion with multinational companies, devastates societies and fuels poverty and inequality. Projects with no benefit but immense kickbacks drained resources from schools, hospitals, and the environment, while over a billion people remain without clean water or sanitation. Attempts to fight corruption faced institutional resistance, as foreign bribery was often legal and even tax-deductible in major economies. True progress came only when civil society, governments, and responsible businesses joined forces to break the cycle.
