Corruption in Bolivia is present in all degrees of society. The legal executive, the police, and the policy implementation all the more extensively are seen as the worst establishments in the country. Bolivia is subject to its normal assets and this area, around the world, is famously inclined to corruption. With the improvement of the country's lithium plan, it is vital for Bolivia to make the essential shields to guarantee the most extreme social advantages.

Bolivia has embraced huge endeavors to improve straightforwardness. Evo Spirits announced 'no resilience against corruption and his administration has made an institutional and legitimate structure that seems vigorous. However, regardless of these positive drives, Bolivia actually performs beneath worldwide and local midpoints in most administration regions, including corruption. The absence of limits and assets subvert new foundations, while low pay rates, absence of preparation, and an oppressive organization keep on setting out open doors and motivators for corruption. 

With the adoption of a new constitution in 2009 and an anti-corruption law in 2010, Bolivia has experienced significant political and institutional reforms in recent years. As a consequence, analyzing the new anti-corruption framework's applicability and influence on the country's degree of corruption is still relatively early.

 

Bolivian police corruption is a serious problem, thanks in part to poor salaries and a lack of proper training, according to the US Department of State. In accordance with Transparency International, the public believes the police to be the third most corrupt institution in the country. "According to the Latino barometer, only one out of four citizens believe that corruption is the primary impediment to the police fighting crime successfully. Three police chiefs have been fired since January 2010 due to allegations of corruption and abuse. Bolivia's government announced that it will launch an investigation into the suspected linkages between corrupt police personnel and drug trafficking organizations, confirming the popular understanding of officer’s crime. Finally, it's important to note that police forces are vulnerable to politicization. 

Bolivia has already been a party to the United Nations Convention Against Corruption and the United Nations Convention Against Organized Crime since 2005 but also has ratified the Inter-American Convention Against Corruption. In 2010, the country engaged in the implementation review mechanism's pilot phase, but the report is unfortunately not available online. Costa Rica and Zambia will analyze Bolivia in 2013. Bolivia's progress is recognized in the 2012 implementation review report, that congratulates the institution of a National Council Against Corruption, Illicit Enrichment, and Money Laundering, the criminalization of illicit enrichment, the establishment of the Bolivian Institute for Studies in Transparency and the Fight Against Corruption, and the boosting of the verification asset declaration, but urges the government to address issues of conflict of interest and money laundering. The Vice-Ministry for Corruption Prevention, Promotion of Ethics and Transparency, and the Vice-Ministry for the Fight Against Corruption constitute the Ministry for Institutional Transparency and the Fight Against Corruption, which has been established in 2009. Its mission is to develop anti-corruption policies and legislation, ensuring that the administration has a strong integrity structure, monitor compliance with the rules, and file complaints whenever corruption occurs. The Ministry is also in charge of conducting research and acting to recover stolen state assets. The vulnerability of the Ministry to political influence resulting from the president's direct appointment of its members is highlighted by Global Integrity. Due to a lack of resources, the Ministry's ability to strengthen the integrity system is limited.
