The African Union Convention on Preventing and Combating Corruption (AUCC) was adopted on 11 July 2003 to fight rampant political corruption on the African continent. Entered into force on 5 August 2006.

It represents regional consensus on what African states should do in the areas of prevention, criminalization, international cooperation and asset recovery. Going beyond other similar conventions, AUCC calls for the eradication of corruption in the private and public sector. The Convention covers a wide range of offences including bribery (domestic or foreign), diversion of property by public officials, trading in influence, illicit enrichment, money laundering and concealment of property and primarily consists of mandatory provisions. It also obliges the signatories to introduce open and converted investigations against corruption.  

As of January 2020, the treaty had been ratified by 43 states and signed by 49 states.
