This past February, U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken launched one of the first foreign policy initiatives of the new Biden administration: the inaugural International Anticorruption Champions Awards. After receiving nominations from U.S. embassies around the world, the State Department honored a dozen individuals who made significant contributions to combatting corruption in their home countries. The recipients of the International Anticorruption Champions Awards were diverse in every sense of the word. They spanned six continents, represented national and local governments, state-owned companies, and non-governmental organizations. The awardees came from countries big and small, were young and old, and a third were women.
Corruption Of Champions
While it might be tempting to dismiss these awards as empty symbolism (or worse), this would be a mistake. That the U.S. government has created these awards, and apparently intends to continue to issue them annually, is a significant positive contribution to the global fight against corruption, for several reasons.
Bhardwaj is among 12 people who were chosen for the award, launched by Secretary of State Antony J Blinken to \"recognise individuals who have demonstrated leadership, courage, and impact in preventing, exposing, and combating corruption\". The award \"advances\" US' support of anti-corruption leaders and innovators.

Corruption of Champions is a free online interactive text role playing hentai game created by Fenoxo. The player takes up the role of a villager sent through a mysterious portal to a demon-infested world of Merath as a "champion" to fight against the demons. Abandoned and alone with only the clothes on their back, they must then try to survive in a world crawling with sex-crazed monsters, transformative substances, Horny Devils and Naughty Tentacles. All the while, you have to make sure that you yourself don't fall prey to the demonic corruption that has filled the land.
Fortunately for our adventurer, not everything in the world is out to rape them, and some friends can be found to help you take down the demon hoard including a few anthropomorphic rodents that each try to fight the corruption in their own way, an anthropomorphic dog who manages to maintain a working farm in the land, a town full of the various races of the world who hide away from the demon hoard behind a magic barrier, and even the Goddess for which the world is named, to name a few.

Thanks to widespread corruption and abuse of public resources, revenues generated from natural resource extraction does not always translate into investments in sectors such as health, education or nutrition in low- and middle-income countries. R4D will provide knowledge brokerage, produce research and implement proof of concept for locally identified, evidence-informed interventions and multi-stakeholder strategies that combine transparency, accountability and participatory approaches that are adapted to context, responding to local challenges and addressing implementation gaps. All this so the efforts of local anti-corruption and governance champions can ensure that natural resources fuel human development outcomes.
Corruption and bribery are among the most profound challenges we face globally. These ills diminish public confidence in government and public institutions, weaken economies, threaten sustainable development and ultimately reduce quality of life for billions of people around the world. This is especially damaging when billions of dollars in revenue from natural resource industries (including oil, gas and mining) that have been promised to health, education and other development programs in low- and middle-income countries disappear due to entrenched corruption and mismanagement. Among the tools that have evolved to address corruption and bribery in recent decades are a vast variety of initiatives that strengthen transparency, accountability and citizen participation. As our foundational paper indicates, the evidence of their effectiveness is inconclusive at best. However, the evidence also indicates that the most promising strategies are those that:
However, we understand that it cannot end there. Corrupt behavior can be pervasive and adaptable. To this end, we will plant the seeds for a regular dialogue between policymakers and the local research community. We want to spur the debate around preventing and reducing corruption in the extractives sector and to facilitate access to tools and knowledge that empower local champions in their efforts.
"The Biden administration recognises that we will only be successful in combating these issues by working in concert with committed partners, including courageous individuals who champion anti-corruption efforts and countries working to fulfil their commitments to international anti-corruption standards," US Secretary of State Tony Blinken said on Tuesday.
