Ghana in the 2016 Corruption Perception Index (CPI) has scored 43 points out of a possible clean score of 100 and ranked the country 70 out of 176 countries included in this year’s index.

The sources and their corresponding scores include the World Bank Country Policy and Institutional Assessment, African Development Bank, Bertelsmann Foundation Transformation, World Economic Forum and World Justice Project.
