Perceptions of corruption in humanitarian agencies

D. Telemans / Panos Pictures

Humanitarian assistance aims to save lives and alleviate the suffering of people in times of crisis. Yet these noble ambitions do not immunise the business of aid delivery during crises from corrupt abuse. This report describes research on the problem of corruption in humanitarian assistance. The research seeks to document perceptions of corruption in humanitarian operations, including the context of humanitarian assistance, the risks and consequences of corruption, the policies and practices to mitigate or manage corruption risks, and remaining gaps in addressing corruption.
