I. Corruption in Humanitarian Operations: A Strategy for Prevention
Ms. Roslyn Hees, Senior Advisor, Transparency International (TI), will brief on the results of TI’s work over the past four years on developing tools for detecting, deterring and addressing corruption in humanitarian operations.
Background
In February 2010 Transparency International launched the Handbook of Good Practices for Preventing Corruption in Humanitarian Operations. The field research to establish an evidence base for the Handbook was carried out in partnership with ActionAid, Care International, Catholic Relief Service, Islamic Relief Worldwide, Lutheran World Federation, Save the Children USA and World Vision International. The research assessed the extent to which humanitarian agencies were dealing with corruption and made several recommendations for humanitarian aid providers to address corruption risks in a more systematic and strategic manner.
