Business Corruption in Ethiopia

There are high-levels of corruption in Ethiopia, although less high than in comparable regional countries. Examples of corruption include facilitation payments and bribes being necessary to keep land leased from the state. Ethiopian anti-corruption law is primarily contained in the Federal Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission Establishment Proclamations No. 235/2001 and No. A33/2005 (Anti-Corruption Law). Facilitation payments are illegal, and it is forbidden for civil servants to accept gifts or hospitality that may affect their decisions. Even though a legislative framework against corruption exists in Ethiopia, anti-corruption regulations are rarely enforced.
