Variable: Practice: the asset disclosure process for civil service members is effective

QoG Code: (aii_q47)


Dataset: Africa Integrity Indicators

Description:

Sub-score (0-100). Question no. 47. In practice, the asset disclosure process for members of the civil service is effective.

A 100 score is earned where all the following conditions are met:
1) all members of the civil service file their asset disclosures,
2) their disclosures contain detailed information about assets belonging to them and their immediate family (including real estate, movable property, cash, salaries, and income from investments), and
3) disclosures are available to the public online or within two weeks of requested at the cost of photocopying.

A 50 score is earned where any of the following conditions apply:
1) most but not all members of the civil service file their asset disclosures,
2) their disclosures are not complete (e.g. they contain real estate assets but not movable property, or list the asset but don't provide its estimated value), or
3) disclosures are not always available to the public (they're not online, paper versions take more than two weeks to obtain, or costs are higher than photocopying).

A 0 score is earned where at least one of the following conditions apply:
1) members of the civil service routinely fail to file asset disclosures,
2) asset disclosures contain so little information they are useless (e.g. they don't disclose assets of the immediate family, or cite real estate but not movable property, cash, salaries, and income from investments), or
3) asset disclosures are not available to the public. A 0 score is also earned where no law requires asset disclosures.
