Gezielte Nahrungsmittelhilfe für Flüchtlinge und Opfer von bewaffneten Konflikten aus der ZAR in der Dem. Rep. Kongo Food aid for refugees ZAR Ziel der FZ-Maßnahme ist es, einen Beitrag zu der Sicherung des Lebens und des Wiederaufbaus der Lebensgrundlagen von Flüchtlingen aus der Zentralafrikanischen Republik (ZAR) in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo (DR Kongo) zu leisten. Hintergrund sind die zunehmenden Flüchtlingsströme aus der ZAR in bereits ernährungsunsichere Gebiete der DR Kongo. Aufgrund der besonderen Eilbedürftigkeit der Maßnahme wird der deutsche Beitrag als KoFinanzierung der hierzu laufenden Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation (PRRO) 200540 des Welternährungsprogramms (WEP) der Vereinten Nationen (UN) eingesetzt. Strategisches Ziel des entsprechenden WEP-Programms ist die Reduzierung akuter Unterernährung der Flüchtlinge in krisengefährdeten Gebieten. Die PRRO läuft vom 01.07.2013 bis zum 31.12.2015. Konkret sollen diejenigen Maßnahmen im Rahmen der PRRO 200540 ko-finanziert werden, die schwerpunktmäßig auf die Unterstützung der ZAR-Flüchtlinge in der Provinz Equateur und nachgelagert auf besonders bedürftige Menschen in den aufnehmenden Gemeinden abzielen. Damit soll ihr Überleben gesichert und ihre akute Mangelernährung reduziert werden. Dazu gehören Nahrungsmittelverteilungen - z.T. auch über Bargeld- und Gutscheinsysteme, die Unterstützung unterernährter Kinder und Mütter, Resilienz bildende Maßnahmen und Schulspeisungen. Die Kosten des Gesamtprogramms werden auf rund 415 Mio. USD (327 Mio. EUR) geschätzt, die Finanzierungslücke beträgt rund 231 Mio. USD (180 Mio. EUR, Oktober 2014). Der FZ-Finanzierungsbeitrag beläuft sich auf 6,2 Mio. EUR.

GUSO Ethiopia The program Get up, Speak out! (GUSO) raises awareness amongst young people of their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), with all the consequences that that entails, and will give them a voice. Get up, Speak out! is a unique and strong concept that will tackle several levels at once. It focuses on strengthening the individual capacity of young people and at the same time GUSO will improve the (availablility of) sexual and reproductive health services and referral system to these services. GUSO is implemented in Kenya, Ethiopia, Ghana, Uganda, Malawi and in Asia in Indonesia and Pakistan. In GUSO young people will be involved at all levels, from the set up of the programme to the decision-making. Parents, care-takers, teachers and community leaders will also be involved. dance4life brings expertise on SRHR information and education. Targeting youth in- and out-of schools, d4l - together with the partner organization - engage young people through dance, music, theatre and online platforms and empower them to increase their confidence, to change attitudes and norms and behaviors. The long-term objectice of GUSO is: All young people, especially girls and young women, are empowered to realise their SRHR in societies that are positive towards young people’s sexuality. The GUSO Theory of Change consists of 5 Interrelated outcomes ot reach the long-term objective: 1. Strengthened and sustainable alliances 2. Empowered young people voice their rights 3. Increased use of SRHR information and education 4. Increased use of youth-friendly SRHR services 5.

Addressing bribery and favouritism in the Tanzanian health sector: A behavioural approach This project will use a rigorous experimental approach to implement and test the impact of anti-corruption behavioural interventions aimed at addressing bribery and favouritism in the Tanzanian health sector. The project builds on the findings of a previous DFID-funded research project “Corruption, Social Norms and Behaviours in East Africa” that detailed the crucial role played by informal social networks and social norms of reciprocity in driving corrupt behaviours in the Tanzanian health sector. Based on this research, the central hypothesis of our study is that, although social networks have been identified as fuelling and perpetuating practices of petty corruption, they can also be harnessed to promote positive anti-corruption behaviours. Specifically, we propose using “Governance Clubs” and their community opinion leaders to deliver behavioural interventions that have shown promise elsewhere but have often lacked the right delivery mechanism to robustly test their effectiveness at scale.
International anti-corruption laws and local social norms: Interactions and implications for policy This research gathers insights into how local social norms, beliefs and expectations about others’ behavioural integrity are affected by and interact with the international legal architecture aimed at combating corruption and bribery. Using methods derived from experimental economics, we investigate trans-national differences in willingness to (a) engage in corrupt-like acts; and (b) initiate processes leading to the punishment of others who engage in such acts. We investigate the extent to which these differences can be explained by variations in beliefs about others’ behavioural propensities and the social appropriateness of the behaviours. Further, we test how behaviours and beliefs are affected when we vary (c) the country of origin of the potential bribe-payer (an investor) and (d) the country of origin of the enforcement officer. To ensure external validity, the experiment will be conducted in public service colleges and business schools, and triangulated against surveys of civil servants.
A central corruption problem in development: Urbanisation and the role of professional integrity in urban planning They propose a research programme that speaks to an important corruption nexus in development – urbanisation and corruption – and works with a group of pivotal stakeholders – urban planners – that is uniquely positioned to help address related corruption risks. Instead of testing standard anti-corruption measures we will examine a rather under-explored, yet promising route, the activation and promotion of professional integrity and the professional infrastructures that enable it. We will deploy a set of mixed methods and a qualitative action experiment to probe the viability of this professional route to integrity in Zambia and South Africa. The insights generated will be highly relevant for research and policy across Africa, but also yield critical evidence for broader integrity strategies focused on working with professional communities.
Corruption Risks in Global Trade and Commerce The past two decades have witnessed growing concern about aligning the opportunities from global trade with the challenges governments face in regulating multinational commerce. Pressing social and environmental challenges further compound the need for global accountability, especially for multinational businesses. This research project analyses the various corruption risks, assesses their impact with multidisciplinary methodologies, and delves into the underlying drivers of these trends.
Using the Red Flags tool to curb corruption in procurement The aim of this project is to strengthen capacity to use the innovative red-flags methodology developed in the Curbing Corruption in Procurement project to identify malfeasance in procurement, by developing a user-friendly online analysis tool and training a wide group of users to ensure take-up. The overall aim is to reduce the prevalence of corruption in this important area of public spending. The intended goal of this pilot is that these users integrate the tool into their work, using it to identify risk patterns and investigate further. Integral to our aim is the need to better understand the perspective of a range of users, hence the project allows for considerable time to work with our two pilot country partners, Uganda and Jamaica, to understand their current needs and to showcase the range of our analysis so as to identify other potential uses for them. The development of the tool will be an iterative process, allowing for initial assessment of needs, testing of the prototype tool, re-development following feedback, and on-site training once the tool is finalised, with a "train the trainer" approach intended to kickstart further capacity-building in Uganda and more widely. We will collect feedback from users at each stage, to inform the programme's development and refine the tool or the training as necessary.
Global Finance and The Enablers of Corruption Traditionally, regulators and enforcement agencies have focused on going after those committing the crimes, not the enablers of corruption. Nevertheless, professional intermediaries (lawyers, accountants, bankers, real estate agents and others) are crucial enablers of illicit financial flows (IFFs). This research project reviews evidence on how enablers become involved in these schemes, what instruments and regulatory frameworks exist to steer them from facilitators to being the first line of defence to counter global money laundering, and how effective these tools have been to deter their participation in IFFs around the world.
Does transparency bring cleanliness? Offshore financial secrecy reform and corruption control A growing international reform effort has targeted financial secrecy, which enables criminal activities including the hiding of corrupt funds by political elites. Above all, initiatives have targeted â€œoffshoreâ€ secrecy jurisdictions (OSJs), which serve as key nodes in international financial crime. Available evidence suggests that reforms have generated significant effects in the form of higher levels of transparency in OSJs. But we have little evidence on (long-term) outcomes: has greater transparency actually reduced the illicit use of OSJs? This project aims to fill this gap in understanding of outcome effectiveness by 1) compiling the first historical database of financial secrecy indicators by jurisdiction, and 2) using this database to examine the impact of changing offshore secrecy on the hiding and movement of corruption proceeds through shell companies, as revealed in leaked datasets (Panama and Paradise Papers). Findings will be timely and important, providing critical guidance to still- intensifying financial transparency reform efforts.
Ethical border trading between Kenya and Uganda for small scale businesses Recently, we have fine-tuned the ability to measure and target corruption. However, this has not led to satisfactory impacts on anti-corruption efforts. One reason is that corruption mechanisms are complex and socially embedded. Multiple actors with multiple motivations perpetuate and practice corruption as part of the fabric of the everyday life. Additionally, power dynamics and difficulties in organizing against corruption problems prevent those negatively impacted to speak out against the seemingly embedded culture of corruptive practices. Whether technology can help in advocacy against corruption is also an emerging question. This study seeks to address these issues in the context of small-scale traders facing bribery and artificially raised prices at the Kenya-Uganda border. It proposes to run two randomized controlled trials on an existing mobile anti-corruption platform (Sauti) that aims to assist traders address corruption. We will complement this with political institutional analysis aimed to support advocacy for ethical border trading.
