Preventing corruption in humanitarian aid

Background

Transparency International Norway (TI-N) has developed an e-learning course and accompanying Handbook targeting corruption in the humanitarian sector. These materials were developed in partnership with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Society (IFRC), and in consultation with many other humanitarian organisations and subject matter experts.

The e-learning programme targets primarily operations staff in humanitarian organisations, but is also relevant to other staff as well as partners, donors and affected communities of humanitarian assistance. The approach of the course is scenario-based, reflecting situations and dilemmas facing humanitarian workers. The e-learning programme is available in English, French, Spanish and Arabic.

An accompanying Handbook, Preventing Corruption in Humanitarian Operations, also helps diagnose corruption risks specific to humanitarian operations and to develop a set of good practices aimed at mitigating those risks. This resource is likewise available in English, French, Spanish and Arabic.
