Anti-fraud measures in Western Africa and commentary on research findings across the three regions analysed

Abstract

SUMMARY: This briefing explores anti-fraud measures (AFMs) in Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. This is the last of three Briefings which examine the characteristics of AFMs across Africa. The findings confirm our earlier analyses concerning major anti-fraud measure drivers, actors, tools and controversies. These measures link matters of corporate competition, branding, consumer protection, industrial policy, capitalism and national politics, and are by now a component of economic policy and governance of various African states. A reflection on the data presented across the three Briefings concludes, and marks the end of the series.
