NO This infographic document highlights the progress and challenges associated with advancing peace, justice, and strong institutions, as outlined in Sustainable Development Goal 16. It provides a nuanced picture of corruption, violence, public financial management, and civil registration across regions. The data reveal that bribery remains a major obstacle to sustainable development, particularly in low- and lower-middle-income countries, where up to one in four firms face requests for informal payments. The document also charts global declines in intentional homicides, while emphasizing continued violence in conflict zones such as Syria and Afghanistan. It evaluates budget reliability at national and subnational levels, noting significant gaps between planned and actual public spending, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally, it underscores the importance of civil registration systems, pointing out alarmingly low rural birth registration rates in countries like Somalia and Pakistan.
