Preventing Corruption in Humanitarian Operations

The handbook is primarily aimed at managers and staff of humanitarian agencies, both at headquarters (HQ) and in the field. It speaks directly to those on front line of aid delivery as well as to senior managers who determine organisational culture and values.

The handbook is designed to help anyone working in the humanitarian sector identify and prevent the corruption risks faced by their particular organisation or department, or within a specific programme or role. It does not try to set out industry-wide standards for aid agencies in emergencies. Rather, it describes ‘what to do’ to minimise corruption risks, while numerous reference documents attached offer technical details on ‘how to do it’.

There is also an abridged pocket version of the guide available below.

Both the handbook and pocket guide are available in English. French, Spanish and Arabic.

RESIST: Resisting Extortion and Solicitation in International Transactions. A company tool for employee training

Companies facing extortion now have a new anti-corruption tool based on real-life scenarios of solicitation and extortion demands. RESIST (Resisting Extortions and Solicitations in International Transactions) is primarily a training tool to help employees counter solicitation and extortion demands in the most efficient and ethical manner, acknowledging they might be accompanied by a threat. The tool also aims to help companies reduce the probability of such demands being made. Over 20 companies and organisations contributed to designing RESIST, based on their experience of solicitation and extortion demands.

Transparency International, in collaboration with the World Economic Forum Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the United Nations Global Compact (GC), developed RESIST to support companies conducting international business who are potentially exposed to corruption.
