Abstract
This chapter's main objective is to critically analyze the phenomenon of corruption in Africa, and in the process highlight some major cases of corruption in the continent, describe the evolutions of the phenomenon, as well as recommend some possible ways and mechanisms for fighting the menace. The study looks at figures from Transparency International and United Nations Human Development Index and juxtaposed them with the changing dynamics of corruption in Africa. The method of study is critical analysis of individual cases, Africa corruption ranking and reviews of relevant empirical literature dealing with corruption in Africa. The study also adopts phenomenology as a study tool. Thus, the study relied heavily on secondary sources of information. The summary of the findings of the chapter shows the problem of corruption in Africa as endemic; something that has entered all the major sectors of modern African society.
