Corruption is a major leakage because of which a major chunk of benefit does not reach the intended beneficiaries. Apart from increasing the service-delivery cost, it undermines local development by weakening the rule of law, diverting resources from intended recipients, and typically adversely impacting the poorest most dramatically.
And this is an issue where no single stakeholder can significantly reduce the problem on his/her own. If one person stops bribing or taking bribe, it will not make any difference. In fact, it will take a much broader effort to implement effective institutional reforms and a conducive climate that minimizes opportunities for corruption.
