About This Publication
The Gambia Corruption Index (GCI) provides the first systematic measure of corruption
perceptions, reporting practices, and institutional trust in the country. Based on a nationwide
citizen survey and secondary data review, the study set out to understand how Gambians perceive
corruption, where they report cases, and whether they trust institutions to act. The goal is to
generate evidence that can guide government, civil society, and development partners in
strengthening accountability and reducing corruption.
