Since the beginning of the 21st century, commitment and efforts to curb corruption have become more serious and multiple anti-corruption initiatives at global, regional and national levels have been established. At international level, the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) has created an opportunity to develop a global language about corruption and a coherent implementation strategy, with the purpose of promoting and strengthening measures to prevent and combat corruption more efficiently and effectively, promoting, facilitating and supporting international cooperation and technical assistance in the prevention of and fight against corruption, including in asset recovery, and promoting integrity, accountability and proper management of public affairs and public property (African Institute of Corporate Citizenship 2008: 9)
