Mapping the Risks of Corruption in Humanitarian Action

This report examines the risk of corruption in humanitarian action. It lays out where different risks may lie within the complex system of delivery and contracts that forms the basis of humanitarian assistance. Breaking down typical models of assistance by setting out the various elements of the process in tabular form, it attempts to map where various types of corruption exist, and to show the key components of such risks. In doing so, this report aims to enable the development of more specific corruption risk maps for particular contexts and to point to the various types of tools and methods that need to be developed in order to minimise corruption.
