An Afrobarometer survey has found that citizens' perceptions of the extent of corruption in Namibia have increased, although the share of those who think so has decreased significantly in recent years. 

Namibia is one of the countries that has made great improvements in public participation and transparency in its budget accountability process. This was revealed at Namibia's Open Budget Survey launch in Windhoek.

This is according to the 2023 Open Budget Survey Global Findings. 

In the aftermath of Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) report, Namibia, maintaining its position at 59th with a score of 49, is under heightened scrutiny from the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR).
