The Global Informality Project invites you on a voyage of discovery, to explore societies’ open secrets, to comprehend unwritten rules and to uncover informal practices. Broadly defined as ‘ways of getting things done,’ these informal yet powerful practices tend to escape articulation in official discourse and policy-making. Our database at www.in-formality.com includes entries from 5 countries, 66 countries, 200+ researchers and is searchable by region, keyword or type of practice. The first Global Map of Informality is also available online. Do explore what works and how, where and why! | The [[Global Informality Project]] invites you on a voyage of discovery, to explore societies’ open secrets, to comprehend unwritten rules and to uncover informal practices.

Informal practices are not the same as corrupt practices although there may be some overlap. The informal practices revealed in this book include emotion-driven exchanges of gifts or favours and tributes for services, interest-driven know-how (from informal welfare to informal employment and entrepreneurship, often not seen or appreciated as expertise), identity- or value-based practices of solidarity, and power-driven forms of co-optation and control. The paradox—or not—of the invisibility of these informal practices is their ubiquity. Expertly practised by insiders but often hidden from outsiders, informal practices are, as this book shows, deeply rooted all over the world. | Informal practices are not the same as corrupt practices although there may be some overlap.
