282 Diagnosing Corruption in Ethiopia 2. The 2009 Ethiopia Country Profile on the Business Anti-Corruption Portal (www.business-anti-corruption.com) states, “The spread of corruption in the country has been noted by the African Development Bank 2003, which cites the customs service, land distribution, public housing, and utilities as areas characterised by institutionalised corrupt practices.” 3. Phase 1, undertaken in mid-2008, resulted in grouping both the perceived risks and the related solutions under the interrelated categories of accountability, capacity, and trust. It also identified issues, including an apparent lack of genuine competition in the market, that warranted further study. Phase 2, undertaken in mid-2009, looked more specifically at two such areas, both road-related: international contracting, where Chinese contractors have come to play a dominant role, and rural roads managed by the regional road authorities (RRAs). In both cases, concerns had been raised because of recent marked increase in construction costs. 4. Twenty-six completed surveys were received in 2008 and another 24 in 2009. 5. For more information about the Global Infrastructure Anti-Corruption Centre, see www.giaccentre.org. 6. Although the reported occurrences were considered plausible by other stakeholders when discussed in a workshop setting, they are not necessarily indicative of the sector as a whole and should not be construed as describing common practices. 7. In one workshop, an experienced international contractor went so far as to describe working in Ethiopia as “a paradise compared with the corruption in other countries in Africa.” 8. CoST is an international multistakeholder initiative to increase transparency and facilitate accountability in the construction sector through the public disclosure of information about the purpose, nature, timing, and cost of construction projects. Initiated by the U.K.’s Department for International Development and supported by the World Bank, the pilot phase started in 2008 in seven countries: Ethiopia, Malawi, the Philippines, Tanzania, the United Kingdom, Vietnam, and Zambia. For more information, see www .constructiontransparency.org. 9. The cost data in this section are derived from data provided by ERA to the World Bank and referred to in World Bank 2009. 10. The “Going Out” strategy refers to the Chinese government’s encouragement of foreign investment by Chinese enterprises. 11. Approaches by e-mail and telephone, both through intermediaries and in person to the office in Addis Ababa, finally resulted in a recommendation, also acted upon, to contact the government in Beijing.
Construction Sector Corruption in Ethiopia 283 12. A low-volume road is generally one on which the average daily traffic level is under 50 vehicles per day. 13. These views were reported by stakeholders in interviews and validated in the stakeholder workshops.
