	Anti-Corruption Group Targets Construction, Procurement
		TI's "Global Corruption Report 2005," released March 16, focuses on construction and post-conflict reconstruction, and includes sections on Iraq, Afghanistan and the countries devastated by the December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
		The organization found that the construction sector is especially vulnerable to corruption, the report said. Not only is there fierce competition for major contracts, but the need for multiple approvals and permits leaves the process open to abuse.
		"Corruption thrives in a context of confusion and change," the report says. Iraq is especially vulnerable due to its recent history of conflict, tyranny and mismanagement as well as the sizable reconstruction funds that have been pledged by the international community.
