‘Faming not shaming’ for Cutting Corruption with Blair Glencorse

 

Blair Glencorse is the director of Accountability Lab, an NGO that runs ‘Integrity Idol’ competitions in seven countries: Nepal, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Mali, South Africa and Sri Lanka. These competitions take place via TV and social media, and are rather like ‘Pop Idol’ but for corruption-combating civil servants. 

Blair will explain the NGO’s work, and then, with Anna Petherick, he will discuss the theoretical benefits of fighting corruption in this way in systemically corrupt contexts.
