A pilot behavioural anti-corruption intervention at a public hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania successfully reduced unofficial “gift-giving” to health workers by targeting underlying social norms and leveraging peer influence. The initiative trained staff champions to promote anti-corruption messages within their networks and used environmental cues such as posters and desk signs to reinforce the message that gift-giving is unethical and unacceptable. Surveys showed a 14–44% reduction in patients’ intentions and attitudes toward gift-giving, though beliefs around gifts given as gratitude were harder to shift. The intervention highlights the potential of social norms and behaviour change strategies in tackling corruption in public services.
