  • Section 3 presents findings from the Thematic Areas, including Political Integrity, Land, Company Information, Public Procurement, and Public Finance.

  • Section 4 examines cross-cutting issues such as Data Foundations for AI, Data Use, and Inclusion.

  • Section 5 delivers a regional analysis, incorporating insights from Barometer regional hubs to highlight the distinct contexts, strengths, and challenges across countries.
