Company Description

I Paid A Bribe uses citizen reporting to identify corrupt government services and work with local government to affect process change.

I Paid A Bribe uses citizen reporting to identify corrupt government services and work with local government to affect process change. It is one of the online initiatives of Janaagraha, an Indian non-profit organization that aims to strengthen democracy in India by working for citizen participation in urban local government. I Paid A Bribe is an online initiative that challenges corruption by harnessing the collective energy of citizens. The viewers can report on the nature, number, pattern, types, location, frequency, and values of actual corrupt acts on this website. These reports may also include snapshots of bribes occurring across the cities. I Paid A Bribe will use them to argue for improving governance systems and procedures, tightening law enforcement and regulation, and thereby reduce the scope for corruption in obtaining services from the government. I Paid A Bribe was launched in 2010.
