Corruption Awareness Session
Corruption is a big challenge in the humanitarian and development sector. It can manifest in various forms, including bribery, nepotism and fraud. The impacts of corruption are far-reaching and severe, as it undermines the efficiency and effectiveness of aid and development initiatives and destroys trust in organisations and their ability to assist communities in need. To address these challenges, it is essential that organisations raise awareness and learn about corruption.
