2024 Zambia Bribe Payers Index Survey Report The Zambia Bribe Payers Index (ZBPI) Survey is a corruption measurement tool that measures the probability and prevalence of bribery experiences in selected public institutions, and selected categories in the private sector.
In the main, the ZBPI Survey focus is everyday bribery experiences with public officials in their interactions with ordinary citizens who seek to access basic services in places like hospitals, education institutions, police departments and other agencies. The Survey also provides the public’s perceptual and/or experiential observations on governance, and stakeholder anti-corruption actions.
The Survey is jointly undertaken by Transparency International Zambia (TI-Z) and the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), and covers twenty (20) districts across the ten (10) provinces of the Republic of Zambia. The purpose of the 2024 ZBPI Survey, is to, among others, provide empirical evidence on the state of bribery in selected Government ministries, departments and agencies.

Within this theme, the ZBPI survey considered, among others, knowledge of CDF; community participation in CDF; transparency and accountability in CDF implementation; and, incidents of bribery and other forms of corruption in CDF.
