# Egypt 2014: National Integrity System Assessment URL: https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/egypt-2014-national-integrity-system-assessment Type: Publication or report Published: 2015-08-23 Updated: 2020-04-02 --- 23 August 2015 Between 2011 and 2014, Egypt experienced perhaps the most turbulent and uncertain phase in its modern history. The elimination of widespread corruption was one of the key issues galvanising Egyptians during the 25 January revolution. Hopes were high when the Mubarak regime toppled in 2011 that the time had come for an accountable, transparent and fair system of governance. This report provides a timely insight into the extent to which those hopes have been fulfilled and a roadmap for future reform, in another period of transition and uncertainty, following the removal of Mohamed Morsi by the military in July 2013 in response to large demonstrations. The NIS does this through assessing the current situation within its historical context since 2011. Its message is clear – progress needs to be faster, key institutions need reform and political actions need to focus on building a transparent, accountable and integrity-focused governance system. ### Related publications ## [Closing the Gaps: Detecting and investigating corrupt money flows in the Middle East and North Africa](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/closing-the-gaps-middle-east-and-north-africa) Publication • 13 May 2026 Corruption and illicit financial flows remain serious and ongoing challenges across the Middle East and North Africa. ## [Into the light: Benchmarking beneficial ownership transparency frameworks across MENA](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/into-the-light-benchmarking-beneficial-ownership-transparency-frameworks-mena) Publication • 13 November 2025 Across MENA, countries are reforming ownership transparency frameworks, but sustained progress depends on stronger implementation. ## [Addressing land corruption in Africa: Recommendations based on the African Union's Land Governance Strategy](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/addressing-land-corruption-africa-recommendations-african-unions-land-governance-strategy) Publication • 30 September 2024 This paper offers vital recommendations to combat land corruption in Africa, grounded in the African Union's Land Governance Strategy for sustainable progress. ## [Between anti-corruption reform and decline: Examining key actors, strengths and weaknesses in the Western Balkans and Türkiye’s national integrity systems](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/anti-corruption-reform-decline-examining-key-actors-strengths-weaknesses-western-balkans-t%C3%BCrkiyes-national-integrity-systems) Publication • 19 June 2024 Assessments in the Western Balkans and Türkiye reveal a complex mixture of slow progress in strengthening integrity systems, along with democratic backsliding that strongly… ## Countries - [Egypt](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/egypt) ![](https://images.transparencycdn.org/images/EgyptNIS_116.jpg?auto=compress&fit=crop&fm=webp&w=1200) [Download](https://images.transparencycdn.org/images/2014_NIS_Egypt_EN.pdf)
