The Humanitarian Aid Integrity Programme (HAIP) seeks to enhance transparency, integrity and accountability in humanitarian aid programmes.
The HAIP is based on the experience
of the TI Secretariat (TI-S) since 2005 in developing research, partnerships
and tools to identify and address corruption in humanitarian action,
culminating in the publication of the TI Handbook for Preventing Corruption in
Humanitarian Operations, updated in 2014.
These global tools have been
complemented by work under TI _Kenya in partnership with key humanitarian
actors on the Food Assistance Integrity Study, analysing the humanitarian
response to the 2011 drought in Kenya.
The improved capacity-building and
community empowerment mechanisms recommended by this study are being piloted in
the Kenya Arid Lands region and being considered for application in other
countries in the Horn of Africa.
In 2013, the TI Movement created the
Humanitarian Aid Integrity Network (HAIN), under the leadership of TI-Kenya, to
implement the HAIP through a network of TI National Chapters.
From September 2015, the HAIN will
carry out a project that will generate evidence-based knowledge of corruption
risks and practical solutions in complex humanitarian contexts in Africa and
the Middle East.
Based on country-specific research
and comparative analysis of corruption risks in complex emergencies with
reduced humanitarian space (Afghanistan, Somalia), countries affected by
massive inflows of refugees (Lebanon), and countries affected by large-scale
public health emergencies (Guinea), the project will share good practice and
lessons learned and develop recommendations and principles to enhance the
integrity of humanitarian operations through multi-stakeholder engagement at
the national, regional and global level.
TI-S has delegated responsibility for
coordinating the operational activities under this project to TI-Kenya on
behalf of the HAIN.
