Corruption is increasingly being challenged as unacceptable across Asia and the Pacific: widespread malfeasance corrodes health care, education and public utilities. Now is the time to seize the moment, to combine pressure from above, in government as well as private sector, with the voice of people from below. Huge political and economic dividends can accrue from empowering countries to crush corruption. Eliminating this scourge will allow people across the region, especially the poor, to lead lives they value and to reach their fullest potential. The Report shows how everyone eventually loses with corruption ndash; focusing on why it hurts the poor the most and what can be done. It also spotlights the successes so far, as well as proposes further solutions, and in so doing, aims to ensure that history does not become the region's destiny.

Capacity building looks at developing the infrastructure, institutions and people and is critical to the development and participation of humans in the economy and society. Capacity building ranges from schools, roads and hospitals through to health and welfare systems, education, communication and information sharing, participation and voice, governance and opportunity. This book aims to outline the nature and scale of the capacity building challenges facing countries in the Asia Pacific region. Human Development and Capacity Building presents case studies from selected countries with an emphasis on rural development and programs that enhance opportunity and participation in the economy. It focuses on issues arising from women development in Pakistan, indigenous union voice in the French Pacific, job creation programs in Indonesia and the role of international aid and labour agencies in capacity building in Myanmar. The rich coverage will be of invaluable use to those interested in capacity building.
