How did Global Integrity generate the Liberia Local Governance Toolkit?
The Toolkit utilizes a uniquely designed series of Integrity Indicators to assess the existence, effectiveness, and citizen access to key anti-corruption mechanisms at the county level in Liberia. Rather than being a survey that polls households or businesses or aggregates third-party opinion polls, the Toolkit is a compilation of country-specific expert assessments backed up by standardized scoring criteria, explicit references and sources, and a blind peer review process. All data were scored by in-country experts coordinated by the Center for Transparency and Accountability in Liberia (CENTAL).
