Ghush: Bangladesh’s Bribery Database

Field notes

Ghush presents a public reporting workflow in which accounts of alleged bribe demands become searchable records with department, location, amount, outcome, and community-confirmation fields. The homepage claims coverage of 16 departments across 8 divisions and displays separate totals for paid, refused, and demanded-only cases. It also extends the same reporting model to lost property, local criminals, and broader civic problems, making the site more like a citizen-complaint index than a single-purpose form.
