Summary

Corruption is one of the most pressing challenges in Central America today. It not only weakens government but it can be self-perpetuating by fueling electoral campaigns with illicit campaign financing. Understanding the extent of the problem, and how to effectively limit its impact on society if of upmost concern to the people of Central America, governments, and the new Biden Administration.
