Integrity is at the heart of everything we do, and humanitarian work is no exception. Adherence to the values, principles, and ethical standards required of those engaged in humanitarian work is critical in developing and maintaining beneficiary confidence, promoting a strong public image, cultivating an effective workforce, and nurturing accountability and transparency. At the opposite end of the spectrum, corruption, exploitation, and other abuse of authority has the potential to channel resources away from those for whom these were intended, and to harm beneficiaries, co-workers, and others in profound ways.
Lex Takkenberg explores the topics of ethics and corruption in humanitarian operations during this zoom, discussing how humanitarian personnel can serve with integrity and proactively prevent and adequately respond to unethical situations.
