STIR Radio - Corruption and the Aid Industry

Special Guest: Dr. Emil Bolongaita, Technical Director, Management Systems International In the business of helping countries find their feet, some problems are perennial. Corruption has been bothering aid workers and organisations for as long as they’ve been handing out cash. Not surprisingly, in countries with very little, aid flows can become a source of power and prosperity for those who manage to skim a little off the top. In some instances, even anti-corruption officials have been implicated. David, Ryneisha, Fran and Gen investigate the grubby details of the gravy train. What does corruption do to a country’s civil service? How can aid organisations avoid becoming implicated? What strategies can the industry use to ensure that aid money reaches its intended beneficiaries?
