What are the main USA aid programs and co-operation with other countries to promote transparency and support anti-corruption activities in those countries?
Which countries are the most related to that effort & why?
Is it driven by ethical motivation? How faris it?
It will be useful for me to supply me with a list of all the anti-corruption activities adopted by the USA foreign policy.
In Pakistan, USAid is primarily investing in Education, Health, and Energy (primarily hydro energy projects). They are also working to minimize the corruption in USAid projects. They regularly broadcast commercials in the form of public service messages asking people to report any cases of corruption or bribery in the projects which are funded by the USAID.
In my recent book (attached below), I noticed that Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) correlates highly with national income per capita. Actually, this is due to the development of public governance as described by North, Walls, and Weingast. Therefore, corruption in any country is very much endogenous and the outside influence is therefore always marginal.

I agree with Muhammad,
The USA engages in different anti-corruption activities in emerging countries with different USAID activities. You can start from their reports.
All the best
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) is a powerful tool to fight the bribery of government officials in international business transactions. The FCPA is a federal law enacted in 1977 (and has since been amended); it specifically prohibits U.S. companies from paying bribes to foreign government officials and politicians in order to obtain or keep business. There is a lot of literature on the FCPA and its impact on corruption in international business. Enforcement of this law by the U.S. government has been stepped up within the last several years and has yielded significant results.
The American Bar Association (ABA) has initiated and carried out programs designed to enhance the rule of law. See their website for more information.
