The roundtable aims to address the unique challenges and opportunities in the fight against corruption wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic and the changes we need to make to minimize corruption on the continent.

Address the challenges in the fight against leakages due to corruption which have been exacerbated by the pandemic;
