Leaders in the humanitarian community have resolved to do more to address the risks of corruption in relief efforts, according to a report published today. The report, Preventing Corruption in Humanitarian Assistance, documents perceptions of corruption in humanitarian operations through interviews with staff of several leading international humanitarian NGOs who have partnered with Transparency International (TI) to better address corruption risks. The report finds that many humanitarian agencies providing vital relief are aware of corruption risks and have developed a range of policies and practices to prevent it. Whistleblower policies, codes of conduct for staff, and financial controls are just some of the measures participating organizations have already put into place.
