How are corruption and mistrust in political institutions related to each other? Does corruption produce mistrust, or does mistrust produce corruption? Using Afrobarometer survey data, this paper investigates the relationship between corruption and trust in institutions. We will argue that political corruption worsens governmental performance, thus reducing popular trust in institutions' capacity to address citizens' demands. In addition, lack of trust in institutions actually favors corruption insofar as it transforms citizens into clients and bribers who use patronage networks to gain access to rent-seeking decision-makers. The relationship between corruption and popular trust in institutions is therefore not one in which the direction of causality may be easily traced. On the contrary, corruption and mistrust feed each other, producing vicious circles. For example, corruption makes informal institutions the most effective means by which to obtain goods and services, which in turn increases levels of corruption. (Author abstract)

Sample Built from district names in Malawi documents while the full place data loads; it is not yet the finished place list.
Solid: the documents describe the program's work there. Faint: named in the program's documents. Bigger means more mentions. Shown: district; squares are facilities.
Countries where this program operated, set by the countries its documents name most often. Countries only tagged on documents are listed apart. Source: document tags, scope rule
Scope: regional. Set by the countries the program's documents name most often. High confidence.
How sure we are: 1.
When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
