Poland Assessment
Poland Country BriefPoland performs well on some indicators related to transparency of budgets and anti-corruption policies. However, systematic democratic backsliding has weakened defence governance overall. High levels of party discipline limit the independence of parliamentary scrutiny, weakening independent oversight of the sector, and procurement processes are vulnerable to corruption. Whistleblowing is also actively discouraged in the sector and corruption risks are high for military operations.
