Description 

Following conferences on combating corruption in post-tsunami relief in Asia and in earthquake reconstruction in Pakistan, Transparency International (TI) has launched a programme on corruption prevention in humanitarian relief and reconstruction activities. This programme enables the documentation, sharing and implementation of good practice in tools for minimizing the risks of corruption. There is considerable potential to learn from anti-corruption initiatives in the wider development field and to encourage learning among agencies from initiatives that have largely remained internal. TI has contracted the Overseas Development Institute - Humanitarian Policy Group (ODI-HPG) to develop a "Corruption Risk Map" for humanitarian assistance as a general diagnostic framework. TI and the humanitarian community are planning to use the Risk Map to develop either a Handbook or Tool Box of best practices to help humanitarian agencies prevent or reduce corruption in their programmes. The programme goal is to prevent corruption from diverting humanitarian assistance from its intended beneficiaries.
